A library you can use to make any plugins required and auto-activate.
- Nobody can de-activate the plugin from the WordPress Admin
- They are auto-activated when required
To use, place this library in your mu-plugins/ directory (if you don't have one, create one in wp-content/), then use the example below:
Add the following to your composer.json
{
"extra": {
"installer-paths": {
"mu-plugins/{$name}/": ["type:wordpress-muplugin"]
}
}
}Then use:
composer require webdevstudios/wds-required-pluginsThis will install the mu-plugin, e.g. mu-plugins/wds-required-plugins in wp-content based projects.
You will have to require it in e.g. mu-plugins/wds-required-plugins-list.php:
<?php
require WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/wds-required-plugins/wds-required-plugins.php';
function wds_required_plugins_add( $required ) {
return array_merge(
$required,
[
'my-plugin/my-plugin.php',
]
);
}
add_filter( 'wds_network_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );<?php
/**
* Add required plugins to WDS_Required_Plugins.
*
* @param array $required Array of required plugins in `plugin_dir/plugin_file.php` form.
*
* @return array Modified array of required plugins.
*/
function wds_required_plugins_add( $required ) {
return array_merge(
$required,
[
'jetpack/jetpack.php',
'sample-plugin/sample-plugin.php',
]
);
}
add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );Use the following filter instead to network activate plugins:
add_filter( 'wds_network_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );To change the label from Required Plugin to something else, use the following filter/code:
/**
* Modify the required-plugin label.
*
* @param string $label Label markup.
*
* @return string (modified) label markup.
*/
function change_wds_required_plugins_text( $label ) {
$label_text = __( 'Required Plugin for ACME', 'acme-prefix' );
$label = sprintf( '<span style="color: #888">%s</span>', $label_text );
return $label;
}
add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins_text', 'change_wds_required_plugins_text' );To hide your required plugins from the plugins list, use the following filter/code:
add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins_remove_from_list', '__return_true' );This will make any plugin that is required simply not show in the plugins list.
