Create new sites with plugin & theme Blueprints
Taz G

Let users create WordPress installations with predefined Blueprints -- sets of desired plugins and themes. I often install the same plugins and themes on all new sites, and it would be great if this could be done automatically when new sites are generated by FlyWP.

I've seen this sort of thing implemented in a variety of ways, but the best way I've seen (IMHO) is to let users define lists of plugins and themes using the slug from the WordPress directory at WordPress.org.

For example, if I want a blueprint that automatically installs the "WP Vivid" and "Classic Editor" plugins along with the "Hello" theme, my blueprint would include these WordPress.org slugs:

"/plugins/wpvivid-backuprestore/" "/plugins/classic-editor/" "/themes/hello-elementor/"

Obviously, this won't work for paid plugins that live on a plugin developer's server. In those cases, I've seen other blueprint-style installers (like WP Reset) use custom links to zips located on a user's own file server.

Hope this made sense.
