Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This WordPress MU-Plugin loads MU-Plugins from **subdirectories**. WordPress only looks for PHP files right inside the MU-Plugins directory, and not for files in subdirectories (unlike for normal plugins).

After installing the package, copy the ***mu-plugin-autoloader.php*** file inside of the MU-Plugins directory (*`/mu-plugins`*), to load WordPress MU-Plugins automatically.

This MU-Plugin is a modified version based on the [richardtape/subdir-loader.php](https://gist.github.com/richardtape/05c70849e949a5017147) Github Gist.
