Title: Plugins Load Order Author: Jose Barrera Mayoral Published: November 16, 2015 Last modified: February 3, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/plugins-load-order.svg) # Plugins Load Order By [Jose Barrera Mayoral](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chespir/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/plugins-load-order.zip) * [Details](https://sna.wordpress.org/plugins/plugins-load-order/#description) * [Reviews](https://sna.wordpress.org/plugins/plugins-load-order/#reviews) * [Installation](https://sna.wordpress.org/plugins/plugins-load-order/#installation) * [Development](https://sna.wordpress.org/plugins/plugins-load-order/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugins-load-order/) ## Description This plugin allows you to change the order in which plugins will be loaded by WordPress. It shows you a simple drag-and-drop interface to set this order. If you are plugin developer, I encourage you to use actions and hooks so that you will not need this plugin at all, but if you are managing your own blog and you face to the problem a plugin depends on other one, then this is the plugin you need. ## Screenshots * [[ * This is the simple drag-and-drop interface ## Installation 1. Upload ‘plugins-load-order’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Click on Settings > Plugins Load Order to get the admin plugins page 4. Set the order you want and save options ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5f98dd55087599935ae0dee946e7489d1fc7591156a1821e10fd9d322a8cbc31? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Tiny but Exceptionally Superb Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tiny-but-exceptionally-superb-plugin/)󠁿 [uph1967creations](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uph1967creations/) September 27, 2023 This tiny Pluggie did increased the load speed of my site than the huge Cache plugin installed at new adjusted order. Tiny Exceptionally Superb Plugin.

In contrast to its big unwieldy competitor, this little gem right here simply does the job, with a tidy, intuitive interface. Bravo; we hope it lives on.( y) 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d8cda0eead53b8497a1d90958c28a19b1c9d1852dcf30ecd984b1fbc3309b6e7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice one, does its job](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-one-does-its-job/)󠁿 [Gabe Livan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gabelivan/) December 22, 2018 Well done! I was about to setup Plugin Organizer just for this task, but I thought it’s a plugin too complex (with lots of files etc.) just to change the order of the plugins load. Thank you for releasing this lightweight plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69e635ca5fd9e764e767cce444200d3b982a905cae72edd18295968720affd4c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very useful little tool!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-little-tool/)󠁿 [perryrylance](https://profiles.wordpress.org/perryrylance/) September 13, 2018 Thanks 🙂 [ Read all 4 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugins-load-order/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Plugins Load Order” is open source software.
