Add possibility to use non zip plugins #654

Closed roopemerikukka closed 7 years ago

roopemerikukka commented 7 years ago

I write quite a lot of plugins that are just a single .php files. In example I do most of the custom post types as plugins so that they can be activated/deactivated for debugging purposes. It would be nice to be able to include those to the theme without always zipping them, so I'm suggesting to add support for plugins that are just single .php files.

Thanks for your suggestion.

TGMPA uses the plugin installation/update mechanism as is build into WP core. This does currently not allow for installation of non-zipped plugins. I suggest you open a feature request for this with WP core.

Okay thanks, I'll check that!
