This "Deactivate_Plugins_On_Staging" script selectively deactivates specified plugins on your staging and non-production environments based on the site URL. Ideal for disabling plugins that are only necessary on your live site, such as Jetpack, analytics, or auto-social-posting plugins. Specify plugins to deactivate by adding their slugs to the PLUGINS_TO_DEACTIVATE_ON_STAGING array (you can use * wildcard matches). By default the script will assume this is a Life/Production site unless the site domain includes keywords like 'dev', 'staging', 'test', etc., which can be customized in the $stagingKeywords array. For testing the script, you can use $forceDeactivations set to true to make sure the deactivation behavior is working for the plugins you want. For more info, visit here: https://snipsnip.pro/s/827
