How to use it properly?

    Hello and thanks for this great plugin.

    I love it but I’m totally unable to guess how to use it properly.
    Right now, in my tests, I’m forced to change the plugins filter, checking post by post, page by page, each and every plugin.

    No need to say this is taking awfully long.
    How should we use the filter groups? How can we set rules (so that for example some plugins won’t be loaded by default on certain URLs)?

    I guess this is related so I ask you one more thing: what should the filters permalink report? I left those empty, they don’t autopopulate.

    Sorry if these seem silly questions, but I couldn’t find anything about these points in the documentation… nor anywhere alse.

    Thanks a lot in advance

    Filter groups are just for organizing your plugin filters.

    Plugin filters are for pages that are not represented by a post type. You have to enter a permalink into the field on a plugin filter for it to have any affect. For instance if you want to disable a plugin on the admin you would enter your admin url. Like http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/. Or you can target an archive page or other dynamic page.

    You can use the global plugins page to disable a plugin everywhere and then only allow it on pages where you need it. You can also use plugin groups to disable/enable plugins by group. Then when you add a new plugin to a group it will be disabled/enabled anywhere that group is disabled/enabled.

    Ok everything is much clearer now, thanks.

    I hate to bother you with silly questions, but please understand, this plugin is quite specific in its purpose, and I never tried anything similar. 🙂

    If you want to accept a humble suggestion, you could go much deeper in details in the documentation, because your work is not intuitive for everyone (and that’s a shame, since it could help everyone – a lot). It’s not for me at least. 😛

    And also, it’s not something I feel like playing randomly. 😀

    Now just two more questions and I’ll leave you to your work. 😉

    Plugin filters are for pages that are not represented by a post type

    So can I block plugins just by post type? How?

    For instance if you want to disable a plugin on the admin you would enter your admin url

    So something like “http://domain.com/category/” would affect “category” and all sub-urls? Or should I rather use “http://domain.com/category/*”? Does it accept regular expressions?

    Thanks a lot!
    This will help me with a complex site. 🙂

    You can’t block plugins by post type. This plugin is loaded before wordpress so post types don’t exist and there is no way to tell what post type you are accessing.

    To affect all sub urls you need to enable fuzzy url matching on the settings page and check also affect children. Then a filter like http://domain.com/category/ would affect http://domain.com/category/child1/ and http://domain.com/category/child2/ and also http://domain.com/category/child1/subchild/. Wildcards are not possible.
