內容簡介
總結：
Extension Profiles 是一個讓 WordPress 管理員建立「配置檔」，定義哪些外掛應該被啟用的工具。當配置檔啟用時，只有該配置檔中的外掛會在你的會話中載入，其他外掛則在不實際從數據庫中停用的情況下被過濾掉。
問題與答案：
1. Extension Profiles 的主要功能是什麼？
- Extension Profiles 讓 WordPress 管理員建立命名的「配置檔」，以定義應該啟用哪些外掛。
2. 為什麼 Extension Profiles 是開發和測試時的理想選擇？
- 可以快速在不逐一啟用/停用外掛的情況下，在不同配置之間進行切換。
3. Extension Profiles 如何處理外掛的啟動？
- Extension Profiles 使用一個 Must-Use (MU) 外掛，在 WordPress 載入外掛之前截取活躍的外掛清單。
4. 使用 Extension Profiles 需要哪些要求？
- WordPress 版本需為 6.5 或更高，PHP 版本需為 7.4 或更高，需要寫入權限到 wp-content/mu-plugins/ 目錄。

原文外掛簡介
Extension Profiles lets WordPress administrators create named “profiles” that define which plugins should be active. When a profile is activated, only the plugins in that profile are loaded for your session. Other plugins are filtered out without actually being deactivated in the database.
This is ideal for:
Development and testing – Quickly switch between different configurations without activating/deactivating plugins one by one.
Troubleshooting – Isolate conflicts by creating minimal profiles.
Performance testing – Compare site performance with different plugin sets.
How It Works
Extension Profiles uses a Must-Use (MU) plugin that intercepts the active plugins list before WordPress loads them. This approach:
Never actually deactivates plugins in the database.
Only affects the current user’s session (via a secure cookie).
Has zero overhead when no profile is active.
Preserves all plugin settings and data.
Features
Taxonomy-style admin page – Familiar interface for creating and managing profiles under the Plugins menu.
Admin bar switcher – Quickly activate or deactivate profiles from the WordPress admin bar.
Dependency support – Automatically includes required plugins when WordPress 6.5+ “Requires Plugins” headers are present.
Per-session isolation – Each user can activate their own profile independently.
Plugins page notice – Clear warning banner on the Plugins page when a profile is active.
Requirements
WordPress 6.5 or higher (for dependency resolution).
PHP 7.4 or higher.
Write access to the wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory.
