#53132 new enhancement

MU/Network > Plugins: plugins (only) activated in subsite could be marked as such

Description

This is a suggestion/request:

In a multisite setup I have plugins which are not network-activated, but activated on a subsite. They are, correctly I suppose, listed as “inactive” in the Network > Plugins table.
Plugins listed there have two actions “Network Activate” and “Delete”.

The later is what brought me here.
I can delete a plugin a subsite relies on without additional warning.

Would it be feasible to either:

  1. add a third action “Deactivate on subsites” while the network-deactivated plugin is still activated somewhere further down and have “Delete” disabled until the new action has been triggered or
  2. have a new column above the table

“All” “Active (network)” “Active (subsites)” …
and plugins in “Active (subsites)” have “Network Activate” and “Deactivate on subsites”

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

Just noting that there is a warning added in [17036] / #15709 when deleting a plugin:

Caution: This plugin may be active on other sites in the network.

That said, a more explicit way to identify on which subsites the plugin is active would indeed be beneficial.

Great! Thanks for letting me know

Excellent :)
