DM MuLoader
===========

[](#dm-muloader)

Automatically loads WordPress Must-Use plugins from within subdirectories of the mu-plugins folder.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer (`composer require deliciousmedia/dm-muloader`), or just clone/copy in to your mu-plugins folder.

You'll need to copy `dm-muloader.php` to the main mu-plugins folder or otherwise include `dm-muloader-plugin.php`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The plugin caches the list of plugin files it has found in the `dmmuloader_muplugins` site transient.

If you add a new mu-plugin you'll want to delete the transient to force the plugin to find new plugins.

The most reliable way to do this is to add `wp transient delete dmmuloader_muplugins --network` to your post-deployment script.

You can also do this by visiting the plugins page and viewing the Must-Use 'tab'.
