Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Plugin Manager - Deactivate plugins per page

Install and activate WP Plugin Manager. Open Plugin Manager in your WordPress admin menu. Select the plugin you want to turn off. Choose the pages or posts where it should not load. Save your settings. The plugin no longer loads on those pages.

WP Plugin Manager adds a small must-use plugin file (htpm-mu-plugin.php) to your wp-content/mu-plugins folder. Must-use plugins load before regular plugins, so it can compare the current page URL with your rules and stop the matching plugins from loading for that request. Your rules are stored in the database, and other plugins' files are never changed. Deleting WP Plugin Manager removes the file.

It shouldn't. WP Plugin Manager only controls whether a plugin loads on the pages you choose, and it doesn't modify any plugin files. If a page stops working correctly, re-enable the plugin for that page. Be careful with plugins that other plugins or your theme depend on.

Yes. Network-activate the plugin, then open Plugin Manager in the Network Admin to set rules that apply to every site in your network. Individual sites can still set their own rules for a plugin, and a site's own rule takes priority over the network rule for that plugin.

Only super admins. Site admins manage rules for their own site only.

Yes. WP Plugin Manager works at the plugin-loading level, so it can be used alongside caching plugins. If a page is served from cache, clear the cache after changing your rules so the change shows up.

No. It only controls which plugins load on a page. It does not cache pages or minify files.

It can be used with most WordPress plugins. Security plugins and plugins that other parts of your site depend on should usually stay active on all pages.

Yes, in the Pro version. The free version applies rules to the front end of your site.

Yes, in the Pro version. Device-specific targeting lets you set different rules for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
