Manage WordPress Plugins Directly from Your Dashboard
Quick Install adds a compact plugin management tool directly to the WordPress Dashboard, helping you search, install, update, upload, activate, deactivate, and remove plugins without repeatedly moving between admin screens.
Key Features
- Search the WordPress.org plugin directory directly from the dashboard
- Install and activate plugins without leaving the dashboard
- Update installed WordPress.org plugins
- Install or update plugins from ZIP files without a page transition
- Drag and drop ZIP files for faster uploads
- Compare installed and uploaded plugin versions before overwriting
- Detect same-version overwrites and downgrades
- Check WordPress and PHP compatibility before ZIP installation or update
- Preserve the active state when updating an active plugin
- Prevent accidental overwrite when a different plugin uses the same folder name
- Search installed plugins by name, description, or author
- Activate or deactivate installed plugins from the dashboard
- Delete inactive plugins after explicit confirmation
- Remember the open or closed state of dashboard sections for each user
Multilingual Interface
Quick Install includes interface translations for English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
Requirements
WordPress: 6.4.4 or later
Tested up to: WordPress 7.1
PHP: 7.4 or later
Multisite
Quick Install is designed for individual site dashboards and does not add its widget to the Network Admin dashboard. When a network-active plugin is updated from a ZIP file through Quick Install, its network-active state is preserved.
Quick Install is designed to make routine WordPress plugin management faster while keeping important confirmation and compatibility checks in place.
