After working on this for nearly 2 weeks, I’ve finally made my first ever WordPress plugin “Plugin Manager“.
It is a fairly simple one, and lets you download and activate WordPress Plugins with a single click of the mouse from an AJAX’ed interface, saving your valuable time.
You can check out more information about it and download the plugin from here.
Hullo!. Great idea for a plugin but i cant quite get it to work.
I have installed it and activated it but I cannot see any plugins listed in the selection space. However the toolbar at the bottom does say that it is “Displaying 1 to 20 of 2140 items.
Any ideas?
I am using Firefox 3 on a PC if that helps.
Hi Decoder,
Can you try it once on IE and check if it works?
I myself use Firefox 3, and its working great.

Hey! Thanks for the plugin!
I had a the same issue before with FF3. On my linux machine I installed su_php. When I downloaded plugin manager to to the wordpress folder I had the rights 777. This caused an error in su_php. Afer doing chmod 755 to the plugin_manger folder it was working on FF3.
Maybe this helps
Best regards
Daniel
I’m getting the same issue on FF3 but on IE7 the list displays, it’s all WP plugins ? not just the ones on that blog ?
The next/previous buttons on IE7 are blank as well
Thanks for the effort though
Hi TMCG,
I’m working on the Firefox 3 issue (still cant find any reason; works fine here).
Yes it’s all the plugins, and thats what makes the plugin more useful than the inbuilt Plugin management.
Utkarsh Kukreti
Yes, I am having the same issue on FF3 here too. Cannot see the plugins in FF3, but it works fine in IE7.
That sucks because I’ve set my system up so that the only way to get to IE7 is click on Start, Run, and type “iexplore”. I hate using IE!
The plugin works like charm.
In both FF3 and IE7. 
Cool plugin! Keep it up.
Used it and its working great !!
I’m using it on FF3 !! Ru guys sure its not the issue with your browser ??
Also, the plugin will not work and will generate fatal error before downloading if u have Auto Upgrade Plugin installed.
It is working in Opera 9.5
cool plugin
Well, the script looks to be working for some the people, and not working some in Firefox 3.
I’m trying to anything in the code which could be causing it, and will update soon.
Utkarsh Kukreti
Installing Plugins cannot get better than this.
(I am using FF 3.0 and its working for me)
Thanks Utkarsh !
hhmm it does work in IE7 but not in FF3.
Will have to have a play around with it.
Great work on the WP plugin! Really magic stuff!
Thanks for sharing this Plugin. Your Blog already Bookmarked
I use FF3
After klik download,the button turns to “downloading..” then “ Warning
can you explain ti me?
@Swaroop
Thanks.
@Decoder
Just mail me using the contact form if you find solution to any bug
@Pulsindo
I think it is because of some CHMOD problem.
Are you on Windows or Linux?
Hello
thanks for this nice plugin but i have FF 3.0 and didn’t work for me !
I have two WP blogs for myself, and have installed some for our clients. Simple to use, easy enough to modify, definitely a great product. Good Plugins!

I have tried the last couple of versions and still nothing gets displayed in either firefox 3 or opera, displays in IE, but doesn’t work, says its downloading then activate button woks, but nothing gets installed.
I sent you a message via contact form a few weeks ago, but didn’t hear back. I can see the list of plugins. When I click download, I get an error message and html code in the download button. Then I click activate adn it shows the smiley face, but I never see the plugin installed in my list of plugins.
I really enjoyed the plugin, was one of the features that I like to have on my panel of WordPress.
Thank you.
bug: doesnt work with FF3/Safari and OSX but works with windows and IE
Hye!
I’m using FF 3.1b1, and currently having the same problem. The list is empty, with the statusbar showing “Displaying 1 to 20 of 2948 items”.
Should the bug is fixed, please notify me with the email provided, or just simply leave a message at the shoutbox on my site.
Much appreciated!
Is this plugin still being supported?
I’m still getting the empty window error and have the following errors in my error console on loading. FF3 Win XP.
Warning: Selector expected. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

and

Any ideas?
I swear this was working in FF3 when I installed it this weekend, but it is not working now (on three different computers on two different networks). I can get it working in FF3 by using the FF3 IETab plugin. It’s a great plugin, hope the native FF3 problem gets fixed.
Hi, I am using FF3.03 and getting no result. Just “Processing please wait” and a blank list.
Same problem here, working just on IE7 and not working in FF2 (version 2.0.0.17) nor FF3.
Anyway big thanks for the plugin: it’s one of the most useful so that became an absolute necessity for me and for all friends I’v been reccomending to!
Ciao dall’Italia!
Hi Utkarsh,
IE7 OK, no luck with FF3. I noticed something about “gears” in the code. Not Google Gears, right?
On page load, FF Error Console says:
Error: element.dispatchEvent is not a function
Source File: http://www.ronitbaras.com/wp-includes/js/prototype.js?ver=1.6
Line: 3936
- and -
Error: jQuery(“#media-buttons a”).tTips is not a function

Over to you, boss.

No luck getting it to work on Safari or FF Mac
I too am having issues with this plugin and Firefox, but I am running Firefox on Ubuntu, so I can’t test IE. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Excellent plugin, works great.
I’d love to see a ‘Theme Manager’ which does basically the same thing, but allows you to preview and automagically download new themes.
For me it didnt work in FF3 or IE6
Just “Processing please wait” and a blank list.
Does it require java or flash?
cheers,

Any update on the FF3 fix? I’ve got OSX, so IE is out.
Not working for me in FF3 either, but I’m getting a different error than the others. I get the list just fine. If I click the download button the box just changes to Fatal Errors and the active button goes white. It is not downloading the update.
Same results in IE. Yes, my plugins folder is chmod 777.
Still anxiously waiting for a fix/update/patch to fix this to work with all FF3 installations. I saw a update was released recently, but the problem seems to persist.
Must be a plugin incompatibility. I disabled all plugins and it began to work!
Then I started adding them back one by one, until I it stopped. For me the ‘flexible upload’ plugin was the culprit.

What it is in this plugin that causes the problem, I am not sure though.

Cool design! Thanx for plugin for my Money Making Secrets blog!
Josh: similar capabilities are available in the core of WordPress 2.7 (no plugin required). Upgrade to 2.7 and problem solved.
The same problem, always works with IE7 and IE6 but not with Firefox 3.
I admin 5 wordpress webs and 2 runs ok in Firefox but 3 not.
I have tested everything, and I have found the problem. IS A INCOMPATIBILITY beteween pluginmanager and wp-tree and only happends in Firefox. If I disconect WP-tree “always” works fine, but if you have wp-tree only in some cases works.
Nice plugin thanks bro.

I keep getting Failed! Could not copy file when trying to install plugins.
I got this error on activate:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pluginmanager_activate() (previously declared in /home/myuser/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/plugin-manager/plugin-manager.php:44) in /home/myuser/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/plugin-manager/plugin-manager.php on line 78
Hey, thanks for the plugin. Seems to be working well in my blog.
This is just a suggestion. If you can (I don’t know if this is possible) after installing a plugin, make the settings link for the plugin available without having to refresh the page.
i’m using it, its really nice..however, in your next version, you can try to include a search function, as to look for a plugin and go through SO many pages can be VERY time consuming…
Let me know where is your ‘donate’ button..
