TGM Plugin Activation is a library for developers to define and manage required plugins for a site. It is designed for those building client sites or managing multiple projects where consistent, foundational functionality is critical.

Mandatory Plugin Enforcement prevents site breakage by ensuring specified plugins are present and activated. This is essential for themes or custom projects that rely on specific functionality.

Automated Installation and Activation handles the process of fetching, installing, and activating required plugins directly from the site dashboard. This removes manual steps and reduces setup errors for end-users.

Version Control and Notifications allows you to specify minimum or exact plugin versions. The system can notify administrators when updates are available or required for compatibility.

Custom Plugin Repository Support enables management of plugins not listed in the official directory. Developers can host their own plugins and define them as dependencies.

Bulk Management for Multi-site simplifies administering required plugins across a network of sites. This ensures consistency and reduces administrative overhead in agency or large-scale environments.
