This meta-plugin allows regular plugins to specify other plugins that they depend upon.
Example:
/*
Plugin Name: BuddyPress Debug
Depends: BuddyPress, Debug Bar
*/
What this does:
- Disables activation of BuddyPress Debug until both BuddyPress and Debug Bar are already activated.
- When either BuddyPress or Debug Bar are deactivated, BuddyPress Debug will also be deactivated.
= Enriching dependency information =
Unfortunately, very few plugins currently contain dependency information. If youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’d like to enhance the information available to this plugin, you might want to install the Known Plugin Dependencies plugin which acts as an add-on to this one.

FAQ
- Error on activation: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected…”
Make sure your host is running PHP 5. The only foolproof way to do this is to add this line to wp-config.php (after the opening
<?phptag):var_dump(PHP_VERSION);- What happens if a user doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t have Plugin Dependencies installed?
Nothing. The Depends: header will simply be ignored.
- Can I have grand-child plugins?
Yes, the dependency chain can go as deep as you want.
- Defining virtual packages
Say you have some useful functions that you would like to package up as a library plugin:
/* Plugin Name: Facebook Lib Provides: lib-facebook */Now, dependant plugins can specify ‘lib-facebook’ as a dependency:
/* Plugin Name: Cool Facebook Plugin Depends: lib-facebook */Besides being more robust, the Provides: header allows multiple plugins to implement the same set of functionality and be used interchangeably.
