Plugin Grabber

Description

This WordPress plugin creates a backup of a single plugin or your entire plugins directory as a downloadable zip file. Useful to run just before updating a plugin. Adds a page under both Plugins and Tools.

Installation

Follow the normal plugin activation steps.

FAQ

Where is the plugin accessed once activated?

Either from the Tools menu or the Plugins menu.

Where are backups stored?

In wp-content/uploads/pluginBU. Direct web access to that folder is blocked; backups can only be downloaded from the plugin’s own admin page while logged in as an administrator.

I have used this plugin for several months. I have 2 MultiSites and it works. No list of settings and things to configure. Straightforward. Excellent idea. Thank you for this plugin!
