You can disable, enable, and delete mu-plugins as you do with normal plugins. The mu-plugins are the plugins that load before any standard plugin. In a normal WordPress installation they are located in the folder wp-content/mu-plugins. Usually, WordPress doesn’t allow you to deactivate the mu-plugins. With Mu Manager you can enable, disable, and delete mu-plugins without the need for FTP. It’s useful if you need to temporarily deactivate a mu-plugin, or to get rid of some mu-plugins installed by some hosting providers that you don’t need. Some hosting providers, such as HostGator or Bluehost, might automatically install for instance a must-use plugin that enables the Endurance Page Cache, which you totally don’t need if you use a caching plugin. With Mu Plugin Manager you can easily get rid of Endurance Page Cache, or whatever mu-plugin that you don’t need. ### How to deactivate a mu-plugin * Go to the page of Plugins * Click on Must-Use * Click on Deactivate on the row of the mu-plugin that you want to deactivate ### How to enable a previously disabled mu-plugin * Go to the page of Plugins * Click on Must-Use * Click on Activate on the row of the mu-plugin that you want to activate ### How to delete a previously disabled mu-plugin * Go to the page of Plugins * Click on Must-Use * Click on Delete on the row of the mu-plugin that you want to delete ### Help If you have any issues don’t hesitate to open a thread on the support forum. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/af54d34a4d5af51200c62fcad7b2e5999c893547cf8d00b5e99c5c4fb892a00c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not Working with GoDady Hosting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-with-godady-hosting/)󠁿 [Akash Halder](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akashdev321/) Octubre 4, 2024 Using GO_Dady Hosting.
