As I might need it again I’ve put together a gist for a WordPress function that will generate a plugin activation url like the ones WordPress will generate in the plugins administration screen
The function will require a string input like my-plugin/my-plugin.php which can be hard-coded knowing a specific plugin folder and main plugin file information or using another function that will check for an installed plugin using its title.

/** * Generate an activation URL for a plugin like the ones found in WordPress plugin administration screen. * * @param string $plugin A plugin-folder/plugin-main-file.php path (e.g. "my-plugin/my-plugin.php") * * @return string The plugin activation url */ function generatePluginActivationLinkUrl($plugin) { // the plugin might be located in the plugin folder directly if (strpos($plugin, '/')) { $plugin = str_replace('/', '%2F', $plugin); } $activateUrl = sprintf(admin_url('plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=%s&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s'), $plugin); // change the plugin request to the plugin to pass the nonce check $_REQUEST['plugin'] = $plugin; $activateUrl = wp_nonce_url($activateUrl, 'activate-plugin_' . $plugin); return $activateUrl; } |
