Working with plugins

Manage WordPress plugins from the Plugins tab for a site in WP Foundry.

WP Foundry plugins screen showing activate, update, and backup actions

Note: screenshot may show an earlier UI; updated v2 captures coming soon.

Listing plugins

Open Plugins and click Refresh to load or refresh the cached plugin list from the site (including available updates). Search to filter the list. Active plugins can be deactivated; inactive plugins can be activated or deleted.

Updates and bulk actions

When an update is available, use Update on that plugin, or select multiple plugins and run updates from Actions. Operations are added to the Queue and run sequentially with progress in the app.

Backups and install-from-backup

Use Backup to save a local archive of a plugin. Create backups from Plugins, then install or delete archives from the Backups tab. You can also place a third-party plugin zip into the site’s local backup/plugins area and install it from there.

Troubleshooting

If an action fails, check Command logs in the header for the underlying WP-CLI output, and confirm the helper plugin is active and reachable from Site Settings → Test connection.
