Whenever I develop a WordPress site for clients or a WordPress theme, I usually will install some amounts of WordPress plugin. While other developers might use different plugins, for basic WordPress site installation, I usually will install WordPress SEO, Regenerate Thumbnail, Ninja Forms, Wordfence, W3 Total Cache and few other plugins.
However, installing all those plugins usually will take lots of time. What I did previously was install and activate those plugins one by one. There must be a better way to install WordPress plugins.
WP Install Profiles plugin could be useful and will definitely saves a lot of times. This allow you to install many plugins in bulk for every WordPress installation. Before using WP Profile, I used to search, install and activate all plugins one-by-one for each and every WordPress installation. WP Profiles helps to dramatically reduce time taken to install all those plugins.
Once you’ve installed the plugin, simply go to the plugin settings page where you can create your own list of plugins. Simply type the name of the plugin in the field, one plugin per line. Please make sure the plugin’s name match their name in the plugin repo. Furthermore, you can create as many list as you wish and give each list their own unique name. This list then can be exported to another site.
I believe this is one of a must use plugins for all WordPress developers. If you think the article helped you, please subscribe to our RSS, follow us on Twitter and Google+.
