Nice plugin. However, for some reason the search feature takes a long, long time! (Perhaps it’s just my site, but I can’t imagine why.)
Will this work in 2.8? I get errors when trying to use it to install plugins
great plugin, made my life a lot easier
Hey i love your plugin, but after the latest wordpress update, it refuses to work. I’ve tried completely deactivating the plugin, removing the files and then reinstalling, but to no avail. It seems to be a javascript error, but from where exactly i don’t know. But maybe i’m the one doing something wrong?
It used to work, but it stopped. It just gets stuck processing. Haven’t even gotten to a search yet. Help! I can’t live without this plugin!
Same here, just like Alex…pity
i tested it on 2.8
it says Failed -Could not copy file and even enables the Activate button ; + on activation says activated but there are no files which it downloaded ; I don’t know if it is because of any permission on server.
Wud love to see it working in 2.8
A very good plugin, I Loved it .
AdSense Manager v3.3.3 by Martin Fitzpatrick stops the Plugin Manager from working
it is giving message processing,please wait.How much max. time it may take to display in dash board.
Maybe this has been answered but mine stopped working. It goes to the screen but nothing shows up. When this happened before I deactivated some of my installed plugins and it started working again. I’m going to try this again and see if I can jump start it. (BTW I’m running the latest WP installation)
blank page…it seems doesn’t work on wp2.8.2

Thanks for the update! It works again! Please delete my comments.
Hi, I always get the message ‘Failed! – Could not copy file’. File/folder permissions for plugin folder and siubfolders/files are 777
Sweet Pluggin!! It worked for a day. It states displaying 1 – 20 of 2387 but nothing is listed in the window. I cleared tmp and cookies I have also tried it in IE, firefox, Chrome and Safari and have got the same result. Please help!!
Doesn’t work for WordPress 2.8.3
some of the plugins in Plugin Mananger is out of date. Just like FCKeditor. why is that? the data is not from wordpress.org?
Nice plugin but it’s missing a text search, this would be a nice feature to be able to search by keywords and show some results
Hey, how about creating the same thing, but for themes? That could be really useful! And thanks for that plugin, works great!
