Theme specific plugin

  • Hi zeaks,

    you should try:
    deactivate_plugins() and activate_plugins()`.
    Frist, try disabling the plugin in question from the WP admin panel, and insert this in the functions.php file of the theme you want to enable that plugin:
    activate_plugins( '/plugin-folder/plugin-name.php' );

    If that doesn’t work, try the opposite, i.e., enable the plugin globally and disable it in each of the themes by inserting this line in the functions.php files:
    deactivate_plugins( '/plugin-folder/plugin-name.php' );

    Thanks Marventus, I don’t have the option for adding code to the theme though. I’m creating a plugin for a specific theme, that will only work with that theme, so I’d like for it to auto-disable itself if that certain theme is not active.

    You can use the get_current_theme function:

    You might also want to check out other theme-specific plugins to see how the authors proceeded, and give them credit where due.
    Good luck!
