Plugin Manager

Install, update and manage YOURLS plugins directly from the admin panel.

Overview

Plugin Manager brings a modern management workflow to YOURLS: search, install, update and remove plugins without touching FTP or the command line. Everything is controllable from an interface integrated in the admin area.

Key features

  • ●Install plugins directly from the admin interface.
  • ●One-click updates when a new version is available.
  • ●Safe deactivation and removal without filesystem access.
  • ●Designed as a central hub for those managing multiple YOURLS instances.

Can't install via Plugin Manager?

If YOURLS doesn't have write permissions on the plugins directory, Plugin Manager will show an error like “Automatic installation is not possible because YOURLS cannot write to …/user/plugins”. In that case you can install manually over SSH — run these commands inside your plugins directory:

SSH
1wget -O YOURLS-PluginManager-1.2.3.zip "https://api.github.com/repos/gioxx/YOURLS-PluginManager/zipball/1.2.3"
2unzip YOURLS-PluginManager-1.2.3.zip
3rm -rf YOURLS-PluginManager/
4mv gioxx-YOURLS-PluginManager-*/ YOURLS-PluginManager/
5rm YOURLS-PluginManager-1.2.3.zip

Alternatively, download the ZIP above, extract it locally and upload the folder via FTP/SFTP.

Changelog

What's New

  • Icon-only action buttons: single compact row of 5 square icon buttons (⏻ · 🔗 · 🔎 · ⬆️ · 🗑️) with tooltips; legend inside the table header explains each icon
  • Rebalanced table columns: Plugin 40%, Last Updated 35%, Actions 25%
  • Proper emoji centering: all action buttons and the show/hide token toggle are now `<button>` elements
  • Update button always visible: blue when an update is available, amber when source-only reinstall is available, greyed out otherwise
  • Restore source_only reinstall: plugins tracked from a branch (no GitHub Release) now show an amber ⬆️ button that triggers reinstall from the default branch
  • Manual install guide link: the permission-error message now includes a link to the SSH/FTP installation guide at yourls.gioxx.org
  • Fix: empty Update form removed: the disabled Update button is now a bare element with no form wrapper
  • Fix: recommended plugins install error message renders correctly — failures shown as HTML list matching the URL-based install flow
  • Fix: catalog lookup uses keyed array_column map instead of O(n²) nested loop
  • Italian translation: 162 strings, 0 untranslated
  • Emoji variation selectors: `🗑️` and the token toggle carry the correct U+FE0F selectors
