Plugin Organizer

Plugin Organizer is a plugin that I developed to help with a project where plugins were conflicting with each other.  It has grown much farther than that since it’s initial release. Plugin Organizer can be very difficult for inexperienced wordpress users to comprehend. But if you take the time to set it up correctly using the FAQ and documentation pages your site will see a significant benefit in load time and resources used. It allows you to change the load order of your plugins and decide which ones load on each page.  If you need one plugin to load before another or to only load one on specific pages then this is the plugin to do it.  To download the plugin please go to the WordPress plugin page.
