System-level plugin settings

This screen displays information about all plugins currently installed on your system. For most modern plugins, this will include plugin name, version and a short description. If the plugin name is linked, in indicates that there are one or more additional configuration screens.

On the right, you may see some or all of the following depending on what the plugin author has chosen to display:

  • Enable/Disable - You can enable or disable each plugin system-wide**
  • Link to plugin documentation
  • Plugin Resources - This includes template tags, functions and text formatting options, provided by the plugin.
  • An author link
  • Settings - This enables you to configure system-wide behavior of the plugin inline.**

**Note that only System Administrators can change system-level plugin settings, so if you are not a System Administrator, you will not see these options.

If you wish to control behavior for a plugin on the blog-level, that can be done on the weblog plugin settings.
