A focused workflow

A clearer view of every plugin on your forum.

The first version brings the essential plugin-management tasks together while keeping each forum separate and easy to review.

Connect securely

Add your forum over SSH and keep its connection details attached to that site.

Scan what is installed

Find the plugins already on your forum and review their versions and compatibility.

Upload with guidance

Add a plugin package through a focused workflow designed around your MyBB site.

Inside the app

Know what will reach your forum before upload.

MyBB Plugin Manager works with the files on each site, checks a plugin package locally, and shows potential overwrites before anything is transferred.
