Title: Plugin Management vs Plugin Commander in wp3 Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Plugin Management vs Plugin Commander in wp3 * [erikshosting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikshosting/) * (@erikshosting) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/) * So, Plugin Commander works in wp3, plugin management does not. * Problem is, Plugin management is far superior in multi-site, as you can control what plugins a user is able to toggle and what plugins he does not see at all. * So, I’ve edited aaron edwards plugin management plugin to be wp3 compatible. * Check it out here [http://erikshosting.com/projects/update-wpmu-dev-plugin-management-plugin-to-wp3/](http://erikshosting.com/projects/update-wpmu-dev-plugin-management-plugin-to-wp3/) * Many thanks to the original plugin author, great work! -Erik Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/page/2/?output_format=md) * [marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) * (@marikamitsos) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583847) * Hi erikshosting, Will this work with a regular wordpress3.0 (NOT mu) installation with NO mu-plugins folder and subfolders multisite activated? That would be great * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583851) * If you;re running multisite it’s the same thing as what was mu. * Create the mu-plugins folder. WP will recognize it. * [marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) * (@marikamitsos) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583856) * Thanx andrea. Does this mean that all plugins that used to be in the mu-plugins folder will function? Furthermore, I tried it and noticed that 1. it did not appear in the plugins list (nice) 2. its options were available only for the super-admin (nicer) * Would all the mu-plugins I place in the mu-plugins folder, behave the same way( nicest)? * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583860) * > Does this mean that all plugins that used to be in the mu-plugins folder will > function? * Generally speaking, yes. * > 1. it did not appear in the plugins list (nice) * Look at the plugins sub-menu items. 😉 There will be one called “must-use”. Only Super Admins see this. * > Would all the mu-plugins I place in the mu-plugins folder, behave the same > way (nicest)? * No. The plugin itself has to be coded that way. It’s not a function of the folder itself. * [marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) * (@marikamitsos) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583865) * Thanx andrea. * Thread Starter [erikshosting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikshosting/) * (@erikshosting) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-management-vs-plugin-commander-in-wp3/#post-1583912) * Andrea you are awesome!
