    Dear Support – I continue to be a big fan of the product & looking forward to Pro.

    Encountered an issue where a plugin that we have been using for quiet sometime simply doesnt appear in FDP grid. The plugin is active (I have verified that) but it does not show on the grid. Not sure why?

    Kindly let me know if there is anything else I should check.

    Regards

    Hi @pkverma99

    thank you very much! The PRO version is in the beta testing phase. The date of publication will depend on the results of the beta testing.

    Is the plugin that doesn’t appear a custom plugin? Is its main file inside a folder? Standard plugins are in a subfolder of the folder plugins.
    For example, this is the path of the main file of a standard plugin that is seen by FDP: wp-content/plugins/sample-plugin/sample-plugin.php
    This is an example of a file that is not seen by FDP as a standard plugin: wp-content/plugins/sample-plugin.php

    If it’s inside a folder and the same you don’t see it in the FDP setting pages, try disabling FDP and reactivate it again. Be careful, don’t delete it, in another case you will lose the settings. Just deactivate it from the page of plugins and reactivate it again. This will clear the internal cache of FDP.

    Hi @giuse – It’s a regular plugin and it is showing up fine. I was looking for the wrong name. My bad!!

    Sometimes there are two different names that appear at different places and it got me confused. Please close this issue.

    And I am a customer for PRO whenever the software gets ready :). The FDP interface and usability has improved which is great.

    Hi @pkverma99

    Thank you very much! I’m happy you find better the interface.

    FDP shows the plugin slug instead of the name. The slug can’t be changed by the plugin authors. The plugin name can be changed, and sometimes you find some plugins that have a name different than the slug. E.g. Yoast SEO has the slug wordpress-seo and you will see WORDPRESS SEO in the FDP settings.

    If FDP shows the slug instead of the name for performance reasons. The slugs are available a lot faster than the name. To get the name, if the internal cache of FDP is cleared (e.g. when you activate a plugin), FDP should open a plugin file for each plugin. If you have dozen of plugins the FDP setting pages in this case would become dramatically slow and even trigger a timeout error.

    I know this difference between slug and name may be confusing in some situations, but I prefer to avoid issues with the performance.
