Possibly the best WordPress Plugin EVER

May 21, 2008 in Found Online, Just Plain Awesomeness with View Comments

For anyone out there that used the self-hosted WordPress blogging platform, LISTEN UP!  As you know, the way you install a plugin to your blog is to FTP the files manually.   That really stinks for those of us that can’t FTP from work (where we might just happen to do most of our blogging).  Well, there is a VERY easy cure.

There is a plugin called Plugin Central.  You have to install it the old fashioned way via FTP, but it will be the last time you have to do that.  Once installed and avtivated, you can simply get to it via the Dashboard, give it a link to a plugin .zip file, and it will automatically install it.  It has a very clean interface.  Here is a screenshot:

So, there you have it.  The most useful plugin ever.  Enjoy!

Plugin Central

  • Good Layout and Design. I like your blog. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. . :) :) :)
  • I agree, it should be there automatically, and they should also do it for uploading new themes. If I find a great theme here at work, I can't upload it until I get home. The more I use this plugin, the more I love it!

  • That looks like something they should build in to Wordpress automatically. I use Wordpress.com for my personal blog, but my blog for family pictures and videos is hosted. However, even if they block FTP at work, my hosting company has a web-based interface that lets me upload files through my browser without FTP. I'm saving this to my del.icio.us in case I need it some day though.

  • The other one is free too, only you can do SO MUCH MORE with it! You just need to have web space somewhere.
