Installation

Requirements

• WordPress 6.9 or newer
• PHP 7.4 or newer

Adminkeep is free, GPL-licensed, and hosted in the WordPress.org plugin directory.

Install from your WordPress admin

Prefer the command line? WP-CLI installs it by name:

wp plugin install adminkeep --activate

You can also download the zip from the plugin’s WordPress.org page and upload it under Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.

After activation

An Adminkeep item appears in the admin menu. That screen is the whole plugin.

Every feature starts off. Activating the plugin changes nothing on your site until you switch something on — a feature you haven’t enabled registers zero hooks and loads zero assets.

Updating

Updates come from WordPress.org through the normal WordPress update flow. When a new version is released, it appears on your Dashboard → Updates screen and in the plugin list like any other update — one click, or automatic if you enable auto-updates for it.

Your settings survive every update: everything lives in a single option row that the update never touches. If you’d rather update by hand, uploading a newer release zip over the installed copy works too — WordPress asks to Replace current with uploaded.

Uninstalling

Deactivating the plugin simply stops all features. Deleting it runs a full cleanup:

• The settings option is removed.
• The Keep URL redirect table is dropped. Old page addresses stop redirecting — deleting the plugin is the one action that means “forget them.”
• Live Draft pointers and Replace Media bookkeeping are removed from post meta.

One thing is left alone on purpose: media files. If Replace Media kept previous versions of a file, those stay on disk — deleting user uploads during an uninstall is not this plugin’s call to make.

On multisite, every site in the network gets the same full cleanup.
