Sometimes you need an action link to activate or deactivate a plugin. How do you do that?
I have written a simple function that can help you achieve this.

<?php /** * Get activation or deactivation link of a plugin * * @author Nazmul Ahsan <mail@nazmulahsan.me> * @param string $plugin plugin file name * @param string $action action to perform. activate or deactivate * @return string $url action url */ function na_action_link( $plugin, $action = 'activate' ) { if ( strpos( $plugin, '/' ) ) { $plugin = str_replace( '\/', '%2F', $plugin ); } $url = sprintf( admin_url( 'plugins.php?action=' . $action . '&plugin=%s&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s' ), $plugin ); $_REQUEST['plugin'] = $plugin; $url = wp_nonce_url( $url, $action . '-plugin_' . $plugin ); return $url; } |
How to use?
This function requires 2 parameters; first one is the plugin file name, and second one is action type.
Plugin file name is the base file resides in wp-content/plugins directory. If you have a plugin called My Super Plugin and the base file is wp-content/plugins/my-super-plugin/my-super-plugin.php, then the file name will be my-super-plugin/my-super-plugin.php
And second parameter is the action type, either activate or deactivate.
So, if you want to activate My Super Plugin, you have to write-
|
1 |
na_action_link( 'my-super-plugin/my-super-plugin.php', 'activate' ); |
And to deactivate-
|
1 |
na_action_link( 'my-super-plugin/my-super-plugin.php', 'deactivate' ); |
