Access Your Favorite WordPress.org Plugins From The Dashboard


Are you making use of the ability to favorite plugins with your WordPress.org account? Maybe you haven’t found much use for your list besides having it as a reference or personal library of community plugins.

WordPress developer @Japh has created a plugin called Favorite Plugins that makes favoriting on WordPress.org much more useful. It adds “Favorites” to the plugin installation screen in the WordPress dashboard.

After you install the plugin, all you have to do is enter your WordPress.org username, or even someone else’s, and you’ll have your favorite plugins available to you on the plugin installation screen. If you already have some of your favorite plugins installed, it will let you know if your version is out of date. If you change your favorites on WordPress.org to be a list of all of your must-have plugins, you’ll be able to download them all in one swoop. Download Favorite Plugins from WordPress.org to start making your favorites more accessible.

  1. Thank you so much for highlighting my plugin, Sarah!

    As Bungeshea noted above from my forum post, this feature will be in WordPress 3.5 (if you download the beta, you can find it there). My plugin will automatically stop itself functioning for WordPress 3.5+

    Before you upgrade though, it’s a nice preview to get your favourites collection in order early :)
