Allows network admins to restrict which plugins are available on sites, similar to themes.

Download

Version: 1.1.3

Requires at least: WordPress 3.0

Tested up to: WordPress 3.2.1

Description

A quick adaptation of the theme restriction code for plugins. Can only restrict on a site-wide basis, though it will only affect those sites on which it’s activated. Does not restrict super admins. Plugins must be active on the main site to be controlled by this plugin (this is an issue with WordPress’ plugin structure).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enable plugins only for individual sites?

No. You can as a Network Admin however activate plugins for individual sites without restrictions.

Will this plugin affect plugins already activated by site admins?

No. This plugin only prevents changes to the state of plugins and hides them from Admins. You will need to deactivate any plugins manually.
