## Description

If you have a lot of plugins installed, it can be difficult to manage them all. 
Now you can organize the plugins admin page by grouping your plugins by purpose.
Each group will be displayed as a plugin status tabs in the plugins admin page, 
so you can easily filter which plugins you are viewing by group.

A free plugin by [David Cramer](https://cramer.co.za).

Indispensable quand vous souhaitez laisser un site “propre” après une intervention,
en nettoyant rapidement les plugins installés pour l’occasion ! Le seul plugin du
genre… Merci à l’auteur.

Something giving an error, it’s not saving, I use this plugin and it’s phenomenal,
but it stopped working. I cannot identify the problem.

Tried so many “Folder” or “Organizer” plugins. non of which does this as lightly
and precisely as this. Thank you David! One question. Can I save the groups to all
subsites in a multisite setup?
