Plugin Central
Plugin Central is a WordPress plugin management add-on to automatically install and update WordPress plugins. It works with WordPress 2.5+ only.
Plugin Central Dashboard View. Active Plugins are in Bold
Features:
- Install plugins directly by typing the Name of plugin or URL to the plugin zip file!
- Multiple-plugin install feature allows you to move your plugins from one blog to another
- Displays status of out-dated plugins on the Dashboard
- Option to update all out-dated plugins with a single click!
Download
- Download: Plugin Central
Installation & Usage
- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
- You will see the new item on your Dashboard
Options panel allows you to install multiple plugins by name, directly from WordPress repository! Type the plugin names and click “Install Plugins”.
You can also list all of your plugins (or only active). By pasting this list into the install window on another blog you can basically move all of your plugins from one blog to another. More precisely the latest versions of selected plugins will be installed on the target blog.
Dashboard will list status of plugin in need to update and offer installation of all of them at once with a single click.
The plugin will not work together with WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin at this time, I am working on fixing this issue.

hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Maybe you could internationalize your plugins so people could make translations. It’s not nice to see text on the dashboard that cannot be translated without tempering with your code.
Hello,
I installed plugin and tried it but I get the following error message:
Unpack failed : Could not create directory
I gave full permission by chmod to the plugin directory and still the same thing. Can’t figure it out. Can anyone help.
Thanks.
If you have this plugin and the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin activated at the same time, you may get an error when trying to install a new plugin using Plugin Central. The fix is to deactivate Wordpress Automatic Upgrade when not in need of an upgrade to your Wordpress install.
checking out the plugin now - immediate reaction/question is could you move the interface to the plugin page in the admin section? Would seem to make more sense than adding a new sub-tab to the dashboard - not very intuitive
Same error as jez:
Found rb-internal-links 0.21!
Filesystem error FTP hostname is required
Thanks Kym for the plug.
You are for making such a great WordPress resource over there!
