Load plugin in URL only

  • Hi Jeff,

    I’m having a question and suggestion for development.

    The question is, can I activate a plugin in a certain URL only? Many of us have a plugin for a specific page that doesn’t have to load in the rest of the site but I don’t know how to go about it without going to every other single page of my website to deactivate it.

    Now my suggestion is for plugin filter set up. Somehow I find the current implementation a bit hard to use because you have to specify all plugin state on a certain URL, when in reality you might just want to affect a few. Let me give you an example:

    * I would like to have Plugin1 and Plugin2 ON for mystie.com/page/ and its children. The rest of plugins obey global rules or per page setting.
    * I would like to have Plugin3 and Plugin4 OFF for mysite.com/page2/ only. The rest of plugins obey global rules or per page setting.

    The idea here is that I might want ON or OFF only a certain plugin or plugin group, without affecting the rest. Somehow this doesnt seem possible in the current version. Let me know if this is possible or would be possible to add in the future?

    Many thanks.

    Turning a plugin off globally shuts it off on all pages.

    So for your first scenario you would disable plugin1 and plugin2 globally. Then you would turn on fuzzy url matching on the po settings page. Next you would create a plugin filter with the permalink set to mystie.com/page/ and enable plugin1 and pligin2. Then check also affect children.

    For your second scenario you would create a plugin filter with the permalink set to mysite.com/page2/ and disable plugin3 and plugin4.

    Thanks for your speedy response Jeff.

    Does it recognize URL args? If I set a URL filter for mysite.com?arg=disable1

    If you have the setting ignore url arguments set to disable on the po settings page it will.
