Prevent plugin activation for site admins

    We are in moving from NextGen Gallery to NextCellent Gallery. Users manually deactivate the old gallery and activated the new one. For this purpose we would like to leave NextGen among the available plugins but disable its activation. That way new users/blog will only be able to activate the new gallery.
    How do we do this?

    You’ll need to use a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multisite-plugin-manager/ to control that.

    Thank you for the suggestion, I have already tested the plugin. It looks like it can either enable or disable user access to the plugin. This is not the desired result. I noticed I did left out a bit of information.
    We want the users to see the old plugin so they can deactivate it, since the new plugin will activate only if the old one is deactivated. Once deactivated, users would not be able to activate it back. If the plugin is hidden from the users, then they cannot do that.

    For plugin visibility we are currently using a modified version of Exclude Plugins.

    That’s totally going to be a custom mod for you. You’d have to check “IF plugin X is enabled, list. Otherwise, hide”

    I was afraid that would be the case ??
    And at the same time hoping there was already a plugin for that.
    Thank you Mika.
