Installs Bloatware plugins / activates them sitewide without asking in Multisite

    Several plugins got installed during setup which feels like a dark pattern. The fact that one of those plugins (Duplicator) even turned it self on network wide without asking is way too intrusive!

    Hi @dontwakeme,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

    I’m sorry about the recommended plugins. It’s not our intent to cause clutter. We try to provide as much value as possible by suggesting plugins that can benefit our users, whether they work alongside MonsterInsights or are simply great tools for managing a WordPress site.

    These are shown within the setup wizard, when clicking Continue while in step 4 of 5 (in the Which website features would you like to enable? page), you’ll be able to see text indicating The following plugins will be installed… if those options are selected.

    If you would prefer to not use our suggested plugins, you’ll be able to either deselect them for installation in the Setup Wizard under the Add Recommended Plugins To My Website option, skip that step entirely by clicking on Skip for Now, or if you decide after completing the setup wizard to not use them, you’ll be able to remove them like other WordPress plugins.

    We really appreciate you for giving us a try and if you have any suggestions for the things you’d like to see in the Lite version, please let me know and I’d be happy to share your feedback with the team.

    Thank you.
