Must-have utility plugin that allows you to download any plugin directly from WordPress Dashboard!
WordPress download plugin is a utility plugin that does one thing, and does it perfectly. It may sound simple, but this feature plugs a hole in current set of WordPress plugin functionality. As a site admin you must be aware that you can search and install WordPress plugins directly from the dashboard, or you can upload the plugin as zip files, assuming you received it from another site (for example, a commercial plugin). Once installed, all plugins list themselves inside Dashboard —> Plugins page. After deactivating and deleting them, they simply disappear. All files are removed from the server instantly. WordPress does not allow you to backup or download the plugins before you jettison them from your site. If you also manage your server and are fairly comfortable doing so, you may find a more contrived way to download installed plugins via directory manager app or FTP. Obviously, this requires more than a single click and not for everyone.
What exactly are plugins and how this plugin helps you save time or bail you out from difficult situations? Plugins are files and/ or directories, which are created inside your WordPress installation (defined by WordPress) when you first install them. Both active and deactivated files reside inside them. When you upload zip package of a plugin, WordPress extracts it and places the directory inside it in the plugins folder. Our plugin allows you to reverse the process. It will convert any plugin installed on your site into a zip package ready to be reinstalled later or moved to another site. It accomplishes this by simply adding a new link ‘Download’ under the plugin title to already existing links. It is a single click process and hardly takes any time. Our plugin does not create any other page in the dashboard or clutter menus. It is lightweight, efficient and completely invisible until you need it.
So why would you need it? While there can be many reasons, here are the primary we think you will find it useful.
A. Backup
The foremost and most common reason – when you wish to make backup of the plugin for future installation.
B. Premium/ Commercial Plugins
If you have purchased the plugin from a vendor site, you may want to make a backup of your new purchase to make sure you have it handy if the vendor is no longer available or your account is expired. Please note: Do check terms of use for commercial plugins on publisher’s site.
C. Migrating to a different site
So you have found yourselves dependent on some specific plugins that you want to use on all of your sites? You can download these plugins from your current site do a folder on your hard disk from where you can upload to your other sites.
D. Preserving Changes
If you DIY type and made modifications to plugin files to suit your requirements, you will want to make sure you have an archived copy of the plugin if the files get overwritten by an update etc.

Description
A simple zero-config plugin to opt-out of Google “Federated Learning of Cohorts” (FLoC).
Disable the tracking of your users with FLoC
Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) is a replacement for third party cookies in chromium browsers like Chrome to target users with ads based on their interests. The proposed solution is better than using
third party cookies, but it still raises concerns in terms of privacy and data protection.
How does this plugin work?
This plugin tells your WordPress system to send a special header that disables FLoC on your website. There is no configuration needed besides installing the plugin.
Wordpress Free
If you are a developer, we encourage you to follow along or contribute to the development of this plugin on GitHub.
More about FLoC
Blocking Methods
This plugin offers different methods implement the FLoC blocking HTTP header.
- None / Allow FLoC: This method does not provide an opt-out from FLoC.
- Simple / PHP: Works for most WordPress setups. Uses the “wp_headers” filter to provide the HTTP header.
- Apache / .htaccess: When you have to circumvent your cache. Only works on apache servers with the “mod_headers” module installed. Writes the HTTP header into the .htaccess file.
Compatibility with Cache Plugins
This plugin relies on the ability to deliver HTTP headers to the browser. Some Cache Plugins actively strip these HTTP headers and therefore invalidate the purpose of this plugin.
These cache plugins are known to be compatible with the Simple method:

- WP Super Cache – You have to activate the “Cache HTTP headers with page content.” checkbox in the Advanced Tab of the WP Super Cache Settings.
Installation
From within WordPress
- Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’
- Search for ‘Disable FLoC’
- Activate the plugin from your Plugins page.
Manually
Wp Plug-ins Download
- Upload the ‘Disable FLoC’ folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate ‘Disable FLoC’ through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
FAQ
How do I check if it is working?
You can use the ‘Check FLoC’ link on the Plugins screen in your WordPress administration. Alternatively use an external tool to crawl your page. On example of such an external tool is the Uptrends HTTP response header check. With that tool you have to check if the “Permissions-Policy” header is present and if it contains the value “interest-cohort=()”.
The plugin is active, but the header is not there.
The most common issues come with caching plugins, that are often stripping headers. Make sure that HTTP Headers get cached with your site in the configuration of your page cache.
Why should I install this plugin when I’m not using the Chrome browser?
The plugin does not only stop your browser from tracking with FLoC, but also the browsers from all of your users. So you’re not primarily installing the plugin for yourself, but for your users.
