## Description

If too many plugins appear in the WordPress admin sometimes the question appear 
if there is a way to move them out of sight without deleting them.
 This plugin 
is able to do this task. Define a folder under Tools -> Plugin Mover and then go
to plugins admin page and choose to move plugins to your defined folder. Afterwards
you can see them by ftp in the defined folder.

## Installation

or

 1. Upload the zip file through the `New Plugin` upload functionality

or

## FAQ

### Is there a way to set another folder as my plugin folder?

Good question.
 Go to wp-config.php and put in these

define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’, $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/blog/wp-content/plugins’ );

define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’, ‘http://example.com/blog/wp-content/plugins’);
