To remove disable action for specific plugins please use the following code snippet in your theme’s function file.
replace ‘plugin-folder-name/plugin.php’ with the plugin name you want to remove action for.
For Ex. 'plugin-folder-name/plugin.php' => 'akismet/akismet.php'
/**
* Remove Delete Action for Plugins
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-delete-option-for-plugins/
* @param $actions
* @param $plugin_file
* @param $plugin_data
* @param $context
* @return mixed
*/
function chailabz_disable_plugin_deletion( $actions, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context ) {
// Remove delete link for plugins
if ( array_key_exists( 'delete', $actions ) && in_array( $plugin_file, array(
'akismet/akismet.php',
'plugin-folder-name/plugin.php'
) ) )
unset( $actions['delete'] );
return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', 'chailabz_disable_plugin_deletion', 10, 4 );
If you want to remove the action for every plugin, please use the following code snippet.
/**
* Remove Delete Action for Plugins
* https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-delete-option-for-plugins/
* @param $actions
* @param $plugin_file
* @param $plugin_data
* @param $context
* @return mixed
*/
function chailabz_disable_plugin_deletion( $actions, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context ) {
// Remove delete link for all installed plugins
unset( $actions['delete'] );
return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', 'chailabz_disable_plugin_deletion', 10, 4 );
@parveenbhadoo I hope this will help you.
Yeah, it worked very well, Is it also possible to disable the deactivate button and display a message as in this picture.

Edit: I changed delete to deactivate and it worked. Just need to know how to add that text.
That message can be added with the help of action hook after_plugin_row. 🙂
@nikhilbhansi Can you provide the exact code to do that in any plugin.
Also, can we add * Remove Delete Action for Plugins somewhere else more private in WP to avoid removal from functions.php file.
Edit: Solved the first problem.
