Super Admin network access required * In the NETWORK ADMIN go to ‘Plugins’ and activate * In your NETWORK ADMIN panel, “Network Overview” will now be in the sidebar Why would I need this? I personally needed it to delete dated/forgotten plugins that posed a security risk by keeping around. Having a large number of different sites in a network, it’s sometimes hard to determine which plugins are being used where. This plugin clearly highlights which plugins are not being used at all. ``` > "...if you are not using a specific plugin, delete it from the system." > https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Plugins ``` When wordpress network installations get large and you want to know what’s where and what’s not needed, this plugin is the simplest solution. Can I use it on a single installation instead of a network? No, just go to “Plugins” in the admin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cb1a52fe488569ec044689d21594674549be0c722ee519f4d89545abbe4bce33? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works as described!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-described-203/)󠁿 [David Sword](https://profiles.wordpress.org/davidsword/) July 26, 2017 Easily see your entire Wordpress network, break down what’s-where and who’s-using- what or get more specific solving questions like > “Who’s using this plugin?” > “ Which plugins are unused?
