Description

How many times do you setup a new WordPress site and had to install the same plugins over and over again?

This plugin creates a way to automatically install and activate plugins just using a simple JSON file and with no extra coding required. The plugins can be either bundled, downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Repository or downloaded from another external source.

With this you can have separated packs for eCommerce, blog, community and any kind of site you wish to install. Your way and the easy way: install WordPress afresh and add your config.json file to the plugin zip file. Upload it and start configuring your new site.

Afterwards, you can keep the plugin installed or just remove it.

This plugin is based on the fine work of, and includes, the TGM Plugin Activation and JSON.minify() teams.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION SECTION HERE AND IN THE readme.txt INCLUDED.
