Overview

List Slugs surfaces the canonical directory names (slugs) of all installed plugins so you can confidently reference the correct folder during support, automation, or cleanup. It also shows human-readable names and descriptions to reduce guesswork.

Clear mapping from Plugin Name → Plugin Slug.
Fast, lightweight, and works inside wp-admin.
No external services or dependencies.

Why it’s Useful

Incident response: Quickly identify slugs for selective removal or inspection via SFTP/SSH.
Migrations & automation: Generate accurate lists for scripts, deploys, or CI checks.
Vulnerability review: Cross-reference installed slugs against advisories or security tools.
Support tickets: Share exact slugs with hosts or contractors to avoid confusion.
Housekeeping: Spot stray or duplicate plugin directories that don’t appear in the UI.

Key Features

Lists all installed plugin slugs with names and brief descriptions where available.
Restricts access to users with manage_options capabilities.
Outputs are sanitized/escaped to reduce XSS risks.
Prevents direct file access (basic hardening pattern).
Minimal performance impact — simple, server-side rendering.

Tip: Pair this with your favorite vulnerability checker or your own inventory spreadsheets for quick audits.
