The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver vs iControlWP

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
