Title: Post Plugin List Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Post Plugin List * [projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) * (@projectmunton) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/) * Love the plugin … its a fantastic piece of work 🙂 * Just have a quick question … I have many Admin focused plugins … which take up a lot of space in the plugin list on the post edit screen… used for “selective plugin loading” * Is there a way selectively not show them in the list on the post edit screen? * Many thanks in advance * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Julie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/habannah/) * (@habannah) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194718) * Interesting. That wouldn’t be useful to me, so I hope that if it does get implemented, it’s an option in the settings or something… * [BBIndikator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbindikator/) * (@bbindikator) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194719) * Hey @ projectmunton, * this time it isn’t a feature inside PO, cause it is till this version designed to make important improvements just for the Frontend. * But Jeff plans to add some addition functions in a future release to optimize the backend, too. * The only thing you can do this time to improve the backend, is to create a filter for * [http://your-domain.com/wp-admin/](http://your-domain.com/wp-admin/) * After creating this filter you can deactivate plugins in your backend (after setup all settings) that not been used on the backend itself or post-types, cause every new post-type creates a new permalink and if you deactivate a plugin on/ wp-admin/, the plugin will also deactivated on a new post-type cause it is a child of /wp-admin/. Exactly that’s the reason why it so hard to optimize backend, cause as you can see in your own backend: it’s not possible to use “pretty” permalinks, but PO works just with permalinks inside the backend this time. * Normally it is not a problem to deactivate a plugin inside backend after set it up, cause on frontend the plugin will get it’s settings from the database, but if you do it on this way, test it. * If you have some really hardweighted plugs for the backend you can proof to deactivate them on your filter /wp-admin/ too. Then you can create a new entry on a post- type where this plugin normally is used. After this done you can generate a new filter for the permalink of this new created post-type-entry, cause the link will stay permanently after creating a new entry and activate your plugin on this filter (you can deactivate a plugin on a parents filter and activate it on a child filter). But that needs some work and it is just worth if you’re plugin is really hardweight.. * Thread Starter [projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) * (@projectmunton) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194722) * Hi @ BBIndikator, * Many thanks for the reply … It is not really about deactivating plugins as such… its about not displaying the on/off plugin / list item on the “selective plugin loading” within a post edit page. * For example I have about 40 plugins … a number of which are just admin plugins… e.g. “admin columns” plugin. * I want this active in the admin area but don’t really need it to display in the“ selective plugin loading” within a post edit page. * At the moment I have a quick work around which I have done myself … I have added class name which includes the plugin name, to each plugin listed in the “selective plugin loading” within a post edit page … then I just use some CSS “display: none;” … so it does not show in the list any more. * So I have the plugins listed in the “selective plugin loading” within a post edit page …. from about 40 to about 10 …. they are not all admin plugins … (some are just plugins which I control globally …. so not necessary for “selective plugin loading”. * This makes the post edit page much shorter and more manageable. * The only issue with a work around is every update requires re-adjusting the plugin before I update 🙂 * So thoughts on implementation, maybe in the “Post Type Plugins” section … there could be another toggle that says “selective plugin loading” … with another on/ off switch * I was thinking it might be something others would find useful … so it is really a css display thing rather than a deactivate thing. * If Jeff wants any detailed info on what I have done and the rational / UI benefits… happy to do it 🙂 * @ Julie @Niackery … for me it would just be a optional thing … to enable some users to tidy up “selective plugin loading” within a post edit page … if there are some plugins you don’t need to display. * [Julie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/habannah/) * (@habannah) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194723) * [@projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) — Thanks for the extra details 🙂 * > So thoughts on implementation, maybe in the “Post Type Plugins” section … there > could be another toggle that says “selective plugin loading” … with another > on/off switch * I could see that as being useful, and perhaps on a group level as well. * Thread Starter [projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) * (@projectmunton) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194726) * I agree could be good for groups also 🙂 * Just reading that quote in isolation, I think the toggle might be better saying * “display in selective plugin loading” … as it is just the display … not the activation 🙂 * [Julie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/habannah/) * (@habannah) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194727) * Yes, agreed. It would need to be clear. Can’t wait to see what Jeff has to say about this. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea! What an about- face, eh? Lol. * Thread Starter [projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) * (@projectmunton) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194728) * For sure … I glad I was able to convince you 😉 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Post Plugin List’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/plugin-organizer/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1786554) * [Plugin Organizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugin-organizer/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugin-organizer/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugin-organizer/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugin-organizer/reviews/) * 7 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [projectmunton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectmunton/) * Last activity: [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-plugin-list/#post-6194728) * Status: not resolved
