Plugins Load Order

Description

This plugin allows you to change the order in which plugins will be loaded by WordPress.

It shows you a simple drag-and-drop interface to set this order.

If you are plugin developer, I encourage you to use actions and hooks so that you will not need this plugin at all, but if you are managing your own blog and you face to the problem a plugin depends on other one, then this is the plugin you need.

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

we’ve just installed this little pluggie to check on the Load Ordering functionality of Jeff Sterup’s ‘Plugin Organizer’, which did not store order at the time of this writing. In contrast to its big unwieldy competitor, this little gem right here simply does the job, with a tidy, intuitive interface. Bravo; we hope it lives on. (y) 🙂

Well done! I was about to setup Plugin Organizer just for this task, but I thought it’s a plugin too complex (with lots of files etc.) just to change the order of the plugins load. Thank you for releasing this lightweight plugin!
