Network Plugin Auditor vs Feature Flipper

As my WordPress network grew I found it challenging to track which plugins and themes were used on each site, and the only way to check was to visit each dashboard one at a time. What a hassle! This plugin adds columns to your Network Admin on the Sites, Themes and Plugins pages to show which of your sites have each plugin and theme activated. Now you can easily determine which plugins and themes are used on your network sites and which can be safely removed.

This plugin gives you the ability to manage core WordPress features like Comments, the Block Editor (Gutenberg), Emojis, XML-RPC, Feeds, Updates, Automatic Updates, Cron, Heartbeat, and more. If you don’t need certain features, you can easily toggle them off or customize their behavior. It also includes additional utility features, like showing your site’s environment type in the admin bar, enabling maintenance or private mode, or using random URLs for media pages, which you can enable or disable as needed.
