Beskrivelse
A WordPress plugin that adds drag and drop capabilities to plug-in uploads across the admin: the plug-in installer (/wp-admin/plugin-install.php), the Plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php), and the install/update result pages (/wp-admin/update.php), so you can keep uploading plug-ins without leaving the page.
Features:
- Drag and drop ZIP files directly onto the upload form
- Drag and drop one or more plugin ZIPs directly onto the Plugins list (
plugins.php) — no need to open the upload form first - Upload multiple plug-in ZIP files at once – they are installed one at a time with a per-file status list
- Upload queue: added files append to the list, each on its own line with a remove button
- “Upload Plugin” button on the Plugins page, next to “Add Plugin”, that reveals the upload form
- Upload form shown again after each install or update, so you can upload another plug-in right away
- One-click “Activate Uploaded Plugins Now” button after installation completes
- In-place replacement of already-installed plug-ins via a “replace existing [current version] with new [uploaded version]” link
- Click-to-browse functionality on the drop zone
- Automatic file validation (ZIP files only)
- Visual feedback, success/error messages, and smooth animations
How It Works:
The plug-in:
* Loads on the plug-in install page (plugin-install.php), the Plugins page (plugins.php), and the upload result pages (update.php)
* Adds a visual drop zone in place of the standard upload form
* On the Plugins list page, also accepts drops anywhere on the list (shows an overlay while dragging)
* Handles drag and drop events and validates dropped files (must be ZIP files)
* Queues the selected files and installs them one at a time using WordPress’s own upload handler
* Shows a per-file result list with options to replace already-installed plug-ins and activate the new ones
* Provides visual feedback during drag operations
Browser Support:
Works in all modern browsers that support the HTML5 Drag and Drop API:
* Chrome
* Firefox
* Safari
* Edge

FAQ
-
What browsers are supported?
-
This plug-in works in all modern browsers that support the HTML5 Drag and Drop API, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
-
What file types can I drag and drop?
-
Only ZIP files are supported. The plug-in automatically validates that dropped files are ZIP archives.
-
Where does this plug-in work?
-
The drag and drop functionality appears on the plug-in upload page (
/wp-admin/plugin-install.php), on the Plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php) — drop ZIP files onto the plugin list itself, or use the “Upload Plugin” button next to “Add Plugin” — and on the install/update result pages (/wp-admin/update.php) so you can upload another plug-in right away. -
Can I upload more than one plug-in at a time?
-
Yes. Drop or select several ZIP files and they are added to an upload queue, each on its own line with a remove button. Clicking “Install Now” installs them one at a time and shows the result for each file.
-
What happens if a plug-in is already installed?
-
The result list shows a “replace existing [current version] with new [uploaded version]” link for that plug-in. Clicking it replaces the installed version with the uploaded one, without leaving the page.
-
Can I activate the uploaded plug-ins right away?
-
Yes. After the uploads finish, an “Activate Uploaded Plugins Now” button appears; clicking it activates all plug-ins that were just installed. Plug-ins that were already active stay active.
