You want to provide a fast installation process for your WordPress Theme? Good, WP has a straight forward installation… if you don’t use any Plugins in your Theme. Otherwise:
You have to write documentation: a list of the plugins, how-to install You leave the work to your customer: Read documentation Find Plugin Install Plugin Activate Plugin
Customers will contact you, and you have to answer ‘Plugins?’ for the 100th time
Wouldn’t it be nice to have such a thing like Bundler for WordPress? Very easy dependencies management for the developer. One click installation for the user.
This is where Plugin Detection comes in.
