Description:
Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard Pro adds a download action to the WordPress admin so you can save any installed plugin or theme as a ZIP file. WordPress lets you install, activate, and update plugins from the dashboard but offers no way to download a copy of what is already there. The plugin places a Download link on every plugin and theme row, next to the standard actions, and needs no FTP client, hosting login, or shell access.
The bulk-actions dropdown gets its own Download entry, so you can tick selected plugins or themes and get a single ZIP, or bundle every installed plugin and theme at once. Scheduled archives can rebuild daily, weekly, or monthly, each saving to its own folder with a date-stamped filename and optional limits on how many are kept. Filenames include the plugin or theme version automatically, and custom paths keep downloads organized.
It suits administrators on managed or locked-down hosts where FTP, cPanel, or SSH are restricted, and anyone who wants a copy of one plugin instead of a full-site backup. Link text, color, and font weight can be customized, each surface has its own toggle, and the plugin works with Multisite network admin, a frontend shortcode, scheduled cron archives, and WP-CLI. A ZIP library fallback covers hosts where ZipArchive is missing.
The vendor’s own page for Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard Pro has the full details.
