Hi there,
I have been using the free version of DevKit v1.2.2 for a while and it is great.
I upgraded to the Pro as it’s a handy plugin that I want to support.
An issue I am having is that when I upload and activate a plugin with Pro, it can take 7-10 seconds to activate a simple plugin and much longer on larger ones. The upload time is the same between free and pro, but activating plugins using pro takes a lot longer.
Is there a setting or something I can change on the pro version to make the activations as quick as they are in the free version?
Thanks in advance
Nik
There is no setting to speedup this process.
The free version uses different method to install and activate plugins, and the PRO version uses WP native functions to install and activate and the delay is there because of AJAX requests WP sent result to DEVKIT PRO then it starts activating.

Hi,
Is there an advantage to the pro version uploading plugins in the way it does?
If not, I think I will get a refund as the free version’s speed suits what I need more.
Thanks again
Nik
In the Pro version we include to check if the plugin already exist, and skip installing that until you check the FORCE UPGRADE (Overwrite the function which uses the WP native hook). In the free version there is no test for this, and it always overwrite the folder if it already exist.
And bulk installation is also improved with pro version for security purposes.
If you still want a refund, kindly reply, and I’ll do the refund.

For my use case I am uploading 3-12 plugins at a time. It can take a 2-4 minutes with the pro version or 10-20 seconds on the free.
Can you explain how the bulk install security is improved on the pro version?
Would you consider adding the “fast upload” version to the pro plugin?
We are using WP native hooks for installing and activating plugins, and after each plugin it is waiting for confirmation from WP site for the current status of activation/installation, and then continue to next plugin, so it is upto your server speed for the speed of installation bulk plugins.
I don’t think we go with our old method in future, but I’m forwarding this to the development team if they have some solution about faster installation, and let you know more.

Hi, I’ve got the response from the team, and they said that we can’t do the fast-upload again. The current thing is the only option we have.
