WPMU DEV Pretty Plugins 1.5.5
Description
WPMU DEV Pretty Plugins is a WordPress multisite plugin that helps you manage, organize, and monetize plugins from one centralized dashboard. Instead of the default plain listing, it provides a clean, visual Plugins page designed for quick discovery across your network. This is especially useful when multiple sites need to browse, install, or evaluate plugins without confusion.
With support for large icons, grid layout, and category-based browsing, it makes plugin management easier for both network admins and site owners. You can also tailor how each plugin appears by overriding titles, links, and descriptions, along with assigning featured images.
For networks that want to extend the idea into a paid marketplace experience, Pretty Plugins can be paired with Pro Sites to create a more engaging plugin store flow.
