This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/dimensionmedia/plugin-survey-stopper/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Prevents annoying popups and surveys when you deactivate WordPress plugins. No settings, simply activate the plugin.

As an extra bonus, the plugin will append a "Disabled Deactivation Script" in red text to any plugins on the plugin list to let you know it disabled some JavaScript event on the deactivation link (likely a popup or survey).

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a plugin survey?

When you deactivate some WordPress plugins, you get a popup before the plugin is deactivated asking you why you are deactivating the plugin. This is a survey for use by the plugin author or company. Usually you'll only find this in plugin companies selling paid plugins, but they are slowly becoming more common.

Why would you want to disable them?

If you are a developer this is especially annoying if you are deactiving a plugin on a testing site often (for example).
