Description
Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard plugin lets you download installed plugins and themes ZIP files directly from your admin dashboard without using FTP.
There are no required settings in plugin – after installation ‘Download ZIP’ links will be automatically added to all:
- plugins to your Plugins > Installed Plugins menu, and

Additionally in “Settings > Download Plugins and Themes” you can set if you want to append version number to ZIP filename, and/or if you want main plugin’s or theme’s directory to be included in ZIP.

Really good plugin
Very useful plugin, doesn’t exactly what it says. Thanks!
Excellent!!!
Does exactly what I needed it for … keep up the great work!! Thanx.
A Real Time Saver
I love this! thank you, thank you!
Just perfect
Good plugin and very good support.
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
Awesome Plugin
Does one thing and does it well… Saves time in creating and downloading archives using FTP…
Thanks and well done Algoritmika Ltd… keep up the good work
