About this plugin
WP Anything Downloader adds a simple “Download” link to every theme and plugin listed in your WordPress admin. With one click it packages the selected theme or plugin folder into a .zip file and downloads it to your computer — no FTP, no file manager, no server access needed.
It is the perfect tool for migrating a site, backing up a single theme or plugin, or grabbing a copy of something you installed but no longer have the original files for.
Features
- Download any installed plugin as a .zip from the Plugins page.
- Download any installed theme as a .zip from the Themes / Appearance page.
- Works with must-use (mu) plugins.
- No configuration required — install, activate, and the Download links appear.
Security
Downloads are restricted to administrators who already have the capability to install plugins (install_plugins) or themes (install_themes), and every download request is protected by a WordPress nonce.
