# Disable all plugins for Admin except two

 * Trying to troubeleshoot an issue on the URL listed.
 * Rather than take the whole site to local dev to troubleshoot, I thought I could
   use your plugin to test the live site by viewing the site front-end as logged
   in Admin and have all plugins disabled, or only load a few at a time, to see 
   what is causing the problem. Sure I did this a few years ago with this plugin?
 * Anyhow, I can’t seem to work out how to set this up, as the documentation/FAQs
   don’t emulate a similar scenario. Could you give me a brief run through of the
   set up for this please?
 * Also, a copy of PluginOrganizerMU.class.php ended up in wp-content/mu-plugins
   automatically and I didn’t have to move it there. ShouldI delete the original
   from /wp-content/plugins/plugin-organizer/lib/PluginOrganizerMU.class.php as 
   your docs don’t mention what to do when it’s already in the place you suggest
   moving it to.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdisable-all-plugins-for-admin-except-two%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Create a plugin filter with the permalink set to the url you posted. Then you
   move the plugins you want disabled to the Administrator role container on the
   right side.

 * The MU plugin is covered in the documentation. It says that plugin organizer 
   tries to move the MU plugin for you. You only need to move it yourself if the
   MU plugin can’t be moved to the mu-plugins folder automatically.
