One of my fun little side projects officially launched last night. It’s called wpzipper.com and it makes it incredibly easy to generate a fresh WordPress zip file with all the plugins you want already in the right place.
If you’ve ever installed WordPress plugins, you know that you have to download them all one by one and then upload them all to your plugins folder on the server. I’ve thought for a while now that it would be so much simpler if I could just download the WordPress zip file with all the specific plugins I wanted already in place. Well, I finally got some time to put together some tests and it all seemed to work perfectly. So, I’ve put it all together in a new, free website so everyone can benefit.
At first, I was going to just make it an extension of wpstar.com. However, as it all started to come together and I began envisioning features that would make it even more useful (like adding themes in the same way), I decided it deserved it’s own home.
This started out as a simple tool that would help make my life a little easier. If others find it useful, I’ll be adding a few more features I have in mind that will make it even more so.
What are you waiting for? Go check it out at wpzipper.com and let me know what you think! I appreciate any feedback you might have.

What a great idea!! Have you thought about including a md5 checksum to prove the wp file (maybe plugins, too) is identical to the original?

Bob… I don’t know what to say… I’ve been thinking about this very problem all day today and I think you just solved it!
I had provided the option of downloading a zip file with just plugins, so people who wanted to get WP from the official source could do so and still find wpZipper useful.
Comparing checksums might help people trust that the file is genuine. Looks like I’ve got a bit of reading to do.
