AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 11 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver works
Show full descriptionShow less
Archive any plugin with one click. Archived plugins are hidden from your Plugins list and safely moved out of wp-content/plugins into a dedicated archive directory for easy restore later. Ideal for preventing accidental re-activation, testing different plugin sets, and keeping occasional-use tools out of sight until needed.
Features
One‑click Archive link on the Plugins screen
Bulk Archive / Unarchive / Delete actions
Optional auto‑deactivate before archiving (recommended)
Manage multiple archive directories and switch between them
“Unarchive All” button on the Archived Plugins tab
Non‑destructive: archiving does not remove a plugin’s settings/data
Uses the built‑in WordPress Filesystem API with capability and nonce checks
How it works
When you Archive a plugin, its folder is moved from wp-content/plugins to your chosen archive directory (e.g., wp-content/plugins-archive-xxxxxx).
Archived plugins are removed from the Plugins list, so they can’t be accidentally activated.
You may switch the active archive directory or create new ones in Settings → Plugin Archiver.
Common use cases
Maintain a “toolbox” of favorite utilities you don’t need to see every day
Quarantine buggy or compromised plugins to avoid accidental activation
Test different plugin stacks by pulling sets into and out of the archive
Share management with others while reducing “oops, I clicked Activate” incidents
