Language suggestion when no plugins installed

[johnjamesjacoby]

When there are no plugins in wp-content/plugins the following text is presented to the user:

You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time.

This seems like the wordiest possible way to say:

No plugins are currently available.

[Presskopp]

No Plugins.

would be shorter :)

[johnjamesjacoby]

For context, the wordiness probably comes from a desire to convey that some plugins might exist, but the currently logged in user may not have access to see them.

• "You" to hint that other users might have plugins available
• "do not appear" to hint that results might not be 100% accurate (based on transient usage, caching, etc...)
• "plugins available" to hint that plugins might be installed, but simply are not presented here
• "at this time" to hint that plugins might be available at a later date

---

I think more decisive verbiage here would not hurt, and probably only help, and "No plugins are currently available." is my suggestion to cast a wide net without being dismissive or curt.
