Hello.
Is there a way to "connect" theme and plugin ?
I've a WP MU installation and I would like that after creating a new blog when I activate the theme "A" also a set of plugin needed by that theme is activated.
In the same way if later I switch to theme "B" all plugins for the theme A are deactivated and those for the theme B are activated.
regards

If you put the plugin code in the theme's functions file, that'll do it.
How would you do that exactly? Is it simple enough to explain or is there a tutorial somewhere?
It requires recoding the plugins. So no, not simple.
This is pretty much all I do now on my WP custom builds. I try to go as close to a zero-plugin architecture as possible, where all extended features required for a theme are included in the theme files itself, bypassing the plugin architecture. This allows for "instant-on" of all needed features just by activating a theme.
