 * How would I go about enabling plugins only for the backend admin area, but disable
   it on front end completely?

 * Go to the settings page and turn on “Selective Admin Plugin Loading” and “Fuzzy
   URL Matching”. Next go to the global plugins page and disable the plugins. Then
   create a plugin filter with the permalink [http://www.whateveryourdomainis.com/wp-admin/](http://www.whateveryourdomainis.com/wp-admin/)
   and check the also affect children checkbox. Then enable the plugins and save
   it.
