Make Wordpress Plug-in Installing Easy.

To make installing Wordpress Plug-ins easy, try installing the “One Click Updater” Plugin by Janis Elsts.

I’ve used it for installing both plug-ins and themes on several wordpress sites and it has worked great and saved my tons of time downloading, unzipping, and uploading plugins to websites. Just a couple of clicks, and this plugin will actually install directly from a web address.  

Loving it.

Here is a quick summary of some of it’s features:

• You can upgrade all plugins with a single click (only in WP 2.5 and up).
• It’s easy to identify any plugins that have update notifications enabled. There is a yellow or goldish mark in the Plugin Management tab.
• It is easy to quickly determine if there are any necessary updates.. 
• It simple to install new plugins and themes.
• Deleting a plugins or theme only takes a couple of clicks from the Plugins/Themes tabs.
• Debug mode is available if something doesn’t work. It will display a detailed log whenever it tries to update or install a plugin.
