It is made for developers, techical support engineers, as well as for regular WordPress users. Sometimes, usually after updating your plugins, themes or WordPress installation, strange issues may appear and mess the things up. This plugin provides a really neat way to check the problem.

It does exactly what it says in the tin

Excellent plugin to quick debut and resolve a plugin conflict. I normally used to stop them from running from the CP but with this plugin I don't even have to use CP or FTP, can deactivate and restore with a simple click.

Good idea

What a great idea ehy

Very handy plugin for troubleshooting

By inspired888 on August 2, 2024

This is a great plug-in, making it very easy to one-click disable all active plugins, and one-click re-activate them. My one concern, before testing it, was whether I'd be able to individually enable a few plugins, and still be able to later one-click enable all the others that were previously enabled.

When troubleshooting it's ofter necessary to have a least a few plugins active for the process, either because that's the plug-in your trying to find compatibility issues with, or because you need that plugin running in order to even use the site as intended (like WooCommerce on a ecommerce site). The short answer is, yes, you can one-by-one activate plugins as needed, and then bulk re-activate the remaining plugins.

UPDATE Aug 2024: Two years later, and I pretty much install this plugin on every site I work with. It's a must-have in my opinion for anyone managing and/or developing WordPress sites.

Savior of a Tool

Where has this tool been my whole life? It makes troubleshooting faster instead of me manually “renaming” the plug-in folder. I used to save a PDF of my active plugins just to keep track, but with this tool I can simply click on or off.

Makes debugging easier

If for some reason you can't use troubleshooting mode to deactivate all plugins this plugin comes to rescue. Letting you deactivate and reactivate all your plugins in one click.

Very Helpful for me

As a technical support engineer, I have to check and troubleshoot many issues for users. As there may have many plugins installed on user's site, I can not but check deactivating all the plugins once. So, it saves my time. Thank a lot.

Nice and useful plugin
