Now you can just start typing and the list of plugins will be filtered showing only the plugin names that match your search. #### Compare the Active Plugins Between Two Sites Have you ever wanted to compare which plugins are active between two sites? It used to take a lot of brain power. Now after installing this plugin on both sites simply copy and paste a line of text to see hwich plugins need to be activated to make the two sites match. If you’re on a multisite network just select the name of the site you want to compare from the drop down. #### See Which Plugins Are Active on Each Site in a Multisite Network Do you have plugins sitting around that you’re not sure if they’re being used on any sites in a multisite network? Use the Plugins Report feature located under the Network Admin Plugins section to see which sites a plugin is active on. It will even give you a list of plugins that aren’t activated on any site so you can safely delete those unused plugins. > **GitHub** > Pull requests and bug reports are [welcomed on GitHub](https://github.com/kingkool68/wordpress-better-plugins-plugin). > Please note GitHub is _not_ a support forum and issues that aren’t properly qualified > as bugs will be closed. ## Screenshots * [[ * Filter your list of plugins by simply typing in the search box. * [[ * Compare active plugins between two sites. * [[ * List of plugins on one site that need to be activated to make them match another site. * [[ * See a list of plugins that aren’t used on any sites in a multisite network. * [[ * See which sites a plugin is activated on in a multisite network. ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g. 1.
