We have expanded the central Bulk Operations engine to include three new automated plugin management utilities: Install Plugins, Activate Plugins, and Deactivate Plugins. These additions enable site managers and agency administrators to batch-manage WordPress.org directory plugins across multi-site fleets.
Updates & Navigation
- Install Plugins Command: Added an operation to fetch, install, and activate single or multiple plugins using directory folder slugs (comma or space-delimited). Includes duplicate checks that bypass sites where the plugin is already present.
- Activate Plugins Command: Added an operation to toggle pre-existing, inactive plugins to an active state across targeted environments without modifying site files.
- Deactivate Plugins Command: Added an operation to safely deactivate specific plugins across multiple sites simultaneously during troubleshooting or security incidents, preserving underlying plugin files and configurations.
- Execution Safeguards & Logging: Restricts operations to active site environments and logs individual site results, skips, and error states per row on the Bulk Operations history view.
How to get started
Log into MyPressable, navigate to the Tools > Bulk Operations panel, select your intended plugin utility, enter the target plugin slug(s), select your site list, and run the batch process.
