Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

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/wemakecustom/wp-mu-required-plugins/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.

The original plugin is located at https://github.com/thomasgriffin/TGM-Plugin-Activation

Rewriting

The plugin was rewritten for better code management/styling and to better integrate with composer.

The usage of Composer and namespaces is not The Wordpress Way so this was never meant to be merged into the official plugin.
