Plugins & Themes

Panelica 1.0.375 Verified 2026-07-23 WordPress Toolkit

Two sibling pages with the same design: Plugins (/wordpress/plugins) and Themes (/wordpress/themes). Both show your sites on the left and two tabs on the right: what is installed on the selected site, and a store that searches wordpress.org without leaving the panel, including installing one plugin to many sites at once.

Choosing sites: one active, many selected

The left panel does two jobs at once. Clicking a site makes it the active one, whose plugins or themes fill the right panel. The checkboxes build a separate multi-site selection used by the batch tools: with two or more sites ticked, the store's install button becomes "Install to N sites" and a side-panel button updates all plugins (or themes) across the whole selection in one run. The familiar site tools (Fix Permissions, Freeze/Unfreeze) sit here too.

The Installed tab

A filterable table (status filter plus text search) of everything on the active site: name and slug, an active/inactive badge, the current version with a yellow badge when an update is available, and per-row actions: Activate, Deactivate, Update, Delete. Deleting asks for confirmation naming the plugin and the site; the other actions apply instantly. An Update All button in the header clears the whole update backlog for the site. Row checkboxes raise a floating bar for bulk activate, deactivate, update and delete within the site.

Plugin-page extras: must-use plugins are listed read-only below the table (they cannot be toggled from WordPress either). Theme-page differences: there is no deactivate (WordPress always has exactly one active theme; you switch by activating another), the active and parent themes cannot be deleted, and a parent badge marks the parents of child themes.

Frozen sites are read-only here. While a site is frozen, its per-row and update actions are disabled; unfreeze first. Freezing is described on the Sites page.

The store tab

A live wordpress.org catalog inside the panel: search with ready-made category shortcuts (security, SEO, cache, e-commerce and friends on the plugin side; blog, business, portfolio and friends for themes), each result showing its icon or screenshot, star rating, active-install count and description, with already-installed items marked. Buttons: Install & Activate (or "Install to N sites" in batch mode) and, with a single site selected, Install Only. Installed items can be uninstalled from the same card.

Fleet example: tick every site in the left panel, search "wp-mail-smtp", click Install to 8 sites, and the panel installs and activates it on each one, reporting how many succeeded. The same trick works for pushing a security plugin across every customer site you manage.

Access

Both pages sit behind the wordpress license feature and follow the Toolkit's RBAC scoping: you see and manage the sites of the accounts you own. Write operations execute server-side as each site's own Linux user, inside its resource limits.
