Reviews

Awesome plugin! So helpful in development!

I’m a WordPress developer and constantly get into situations where I have to download a theme or plugin from the clients’ servers to debug/customize/etc. In these situations, “Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard” is the number one choice and way to go.

Works perfectly, as described.

Many thanks to the developer. Thumbs up!!

Administrators must have

I give this five stars because it give me(You) the ability to download a plugin which I might not have, particularly commercial ones where I am about to an upgrade which may break the system. The plugin in my testing doesn’t add any load to WordPress front end and is compatible with all the version of PHP I have tested, ie. 5.6, 7.1 and the latest 4.8 WordPress. Combine this with the upload plugin and theme plugin and you have a perfect pair. Thanks
