On the settings page it mentions:
Show/Hide Plugins
...You can even delete and re-install the Plugin, and this Setting for that specific Plugin will be remembered. However, Settings can only be changed for Plugins that are currently installed.
I believe these would be great enhancements for this unique plugin. What do you think?
]]>About 10 months ago I had created another post and hoped this wonderful plugin would be supported/updated.
Unfortunately, not yet. Should we keep our hopes uP?
]]>Extremely useful plugin. Thank you so much.
Though the plugin page says: “Last updated:1 month?ago“ there is no updating notification because the version is still 3.1.3.
I do understand that it is just the readme.txt file that has been updated. But the older 3.1.3 version states “Tested up to: 4.6” while the most recent “Tested up to: 5.8”. Version 3.1.4 could probably be tested till 6.3.1
]]>Support for this Plugin is now available right here by posting via the +Create Topic button above — you have to be logged in before the +Create Topic button appears.
A huge THANK YOU! to David Gewirtz for taking care of this plugin for most of its existence. Although I originally wrote it, a long term family illness meant I could not support it, and David stepped in.
]]>Support for Reveal Network Activated Plugins has moved to the ZATZLabs site and is no longer provided on the www.ads-software.com forums. Please visit the new ZATZLab Forums. If you need a timely reply from the developer, please open a ticket.

]]>Hi folks!
There have been a number of questions asked about the adoption and future of the Jonsradio plugins. Let’s go down each of them in turn. Before I do, here’s a link to the adoption notice for the plugins:
https://zatzlabs.com/davids-home-for-wayward-plugins/
Who is this David Gewirtz character? If you’re really curious about my background, feel free to visit my home page or LinkedIn. You’re also invited to follow me on Facebook and Twitter. I also host the ZDNet Government and DIY-IT blogs. Check them out. They’re great reads.
But the fact is, deep down, I’m a project guy and I enjoy coding.
I’ve been working with WordPress since 2009, having chosen?WordPress to host the huge?migration of the ZATZ magazines from its previous environment based on?UserLand Frontier. You can watch a video of my Miami WordCamp presentation about that project here. I rebuilt the whole ZENPRESS CMS as a series of very large WordPress plugins.
Ever since then, I’ve wanted to do more with plugins that other people can use. Seamless Donations was my first adoption and the Jonradio set is my most recent. Time permitting, I’d also like build some fun and useful plugins from the ground up for the user community to use.
What has changed in the jonradio plugins? So far, the only changes I have made are those necessary to transition to plugins to my stewardship and enable access to the repository for maintenance. I also tested and updated the WordPress compatible version on one plugin that was a release behind.
How will our existing installs be impacted? Ensuring continuity of operation is a top priority. All your configurations, settings, etc, should not change. What worked last month will not be changed next month.
What have you done as a result of adoption? My initial priority has been onboarding the plugins: making sure I had them working in the repository, making sure there was a Web site for them, making sure there was a place for news about them, making sure I had a way of tracking support postings each morning (RSS+Feedly), and actually getting to know the plugins so I could provide a quality level of support.
What about the short-term future? In the short-term, my priorities are answering support questions and doing any updates that may be necessary due to security and WordPress version-compatibility issues. I will also add an email signup form in the admin UI so those using the plugin in the field have a way of being notified if there are any issues that might impact them. So, short-term, it’s keeping the lights on.
What about a longer-term future? Depending on the plugin, I will undoubtedly want to add features and tweak things. But I don’t want to just dive in until I have a good feel (and dialog) with current users. Already, I’ve been approached by a number of users asking for new features and when I move into adding features, I will keep them in mind.
What about the name change? When I adopted the plugins, Jon gave me his okay to change the name of the plugins. I thought that since users were no longer going to have his deft touch on the controls, it made sense to take the “Jonradio” moniker off the name. However, both in honor of Jon and to maintain integrity in the www.ads-software.com repo, the folder path name will always retain the “jonradio” prefix.
Do you have any sort of Prime Directive for these plugins? If you add the two plugins from other sources I’ve adopted over the last few months, the plugins I maintain run on more than 200,000 sites. Ensuring those sites continue to operate those plugins without breakage is my #2 goal. Making sure plugins are updated in response to new security threats is my #1 goal. When to comes to security, I will accept breakage before breach. But otherwise, “No breakage” is the Prime Directive.
How can I be notified of big changes? I’ve set up a very low-traffic mailing list that you can sign up for on https://zatzlabs.com/lab-notes. All my development journaling is also being done at that URL. All the plugins can be found here on www.ads-software.com and also each now has a home page reachable through https://zatzlabs.com/plugins/.
Why are you doing this and any final thoughts? I have two major personal reasons. The first is that I have used (and am using) some of these plugins in the ZATZ Archive (an archive of 16 years of published articles with 79,600 articles) and want to make sure they remain maintained and supported. A second reason is because I’ve been truly enjoying working with WordPress and the WordPress community. I have long experience with taking on interesting and special projects. For more about that, I invite you to read this article I wrote:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-i-code-how-to-think-about-side-projects/
Bottom line: I’m thrilled to be meeting Jon’s plugin users and look forward to a long and productive (and fun) relationship. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride!

]]>Hi,
Thank you for a great plugin. It has helped troubleshoot plugin conflicts greatly.
I’m using new WP 4.0, so totally understand if it’s just timing with the issue, but when this is activated plugin searches seem broken. If I search for a certain plugin, wp admin dashboard just returns a huge list instead of the plugin I’m searching for.
But the main function works, that tells me what plugins that are network activated affecting the blog I am reviewing, which is great. I am currently activating and disabling this as needed to review or search, and it is still of good use.

]]>My users can’t see the Formidable Pro dashboard button and get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” when going to the link where the button (if it were present) would point.
Removing this plugin DID NOT restore visibility of this option.

]]>Although the plugins menu is activate for admins it shows nothing!, and in ‘jonradio Reveal Network Activated Plugins’ menu, the ‘super admins’ option doesn’t change to ‘admins’ in ‘plugins’ row.
