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. ## Screenshots [⌊Theme download button on the Themes page.⌉⌊Theme download button on the Themes page.⌉[ Theme download button on the Themes page.
