## Description

If you have a lot of plugins from the same author, this plugin helps you to keep
them better organized.
 After switching the plugin on, you can set the author’s 
name on the plugin’s settings page located at Grouped Plugins menu item. All plugins
from this author will be hidden from the plugins view. However, you can manage and
see all the plugins on the menu page or on the plugins page under the plugin name
in the toggle container. Switch them on or off with the toggle switches. You will
also be able update your plugins in the toggle container. You can find the plugin
author -field used by this plugin on the “Plugins” -menu page in the “Description”-
column after the version number.

## Installation

 1. Use the “Add New Plugin” -button on the plugins page or upload the folder to your
    WordPress /wp-content/plugins/ -directory.
 2. Activate the plugin on the plugins -page of your WordPress admin.

The plugin works automatically without configuration, but you need to set the name
of the author for the grouped plugins on the plugin settings page.
