Introduction to The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver, a WordPress plugin
This video is about The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver, which will allow you to quickly deactivate and archive a WordPress plugin for later review. Best viewed in 720p.
Archiving a plugin both deactivates and removes the plugin from your visible Plugins list.
Why was this plugin created?
In my day-to-day work cleaning malware from hacked websites, I sometimes run into situations where, after updating WordPress, a plugin would break the website (causing a white screen or error message).
This has left me with a predicament. In deactivating the plugin in question, the plugin itself remained activatable within the plugins list.
Invariably, another administrator would log in a week or so later, see the plugin deactivated, and "activate" it. This often resulted in an emergency—and, sadly, a lot of finger-pointing.
So, The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver plugin was born.
