If you’ve ever been sent a link to a plugin hosted on WordPress.org and wanted to install that plugin, you currently have two options:

  1. Download the plugin manually, upload it to your blog either via the admin interface or via FTP, and then activate it.
  2. Visit your admin area and find the plugin again via the Add New Plugin interface.

Both options are annoying, especially since you’re already staring at the plugin you want to install.

Well now there’s a much easier solution! Simply install this plugin to your blog and install it’s Greasemonkey script from the plugin’s page and you’re all set. You will then be able to literally one-click install any plugin directly from WordPress.org.

For additional details and a download link, check out the plugin’s homepage.

Please leave any comments on the plugin’s homepage.
