How to disable all extensions by a vendor

Question

I am stuck with a crappy vendor whose extensions have lot of bugs.

I want to disable all the extensions from that vendor for sometime, without deleting the inside settings, to check if some other problems are caused by this extension or not.

How can I disable all extension from a vendor in shortest possible way?

Answer 1

You can try something like this, this is one-liner command. And it will find & disable all modules except which one start with Magento_

$ php bin/magento module:status | grep -v Magento | grep -v List | grep -v None | grep -v -e '^$'| xargs php bin/magento module:disable

To disable all module for particular vendor, you could use something like this

$ php bin/magento module:status | grep VendorName_ | grep -v List | grep -v None | grep -v -e '^$'| xargs php bin/magento module:disable

The differences is one with grep -v Magento and the other is grep VendorName_ :)

Answer 2

Try this from command bash:

Go to your Magento root directory and run this command:

php bin/magento module:disable Vendor_Module1 Vendor_Module2 ..

Add this at the end of command to clear modules static contents:

--clear-static-content

Note: you can see the list of all modules by:

php bin/magento module:status

Answer 3

You can easily disable all your extension from app>etc>config.php

In this file you can find

<?php
return array (
  'modules' => 
  array (
    'NAMESPACE_MODULENAME' => 1,
    'Magento_Store' => 1    
...............................    
  ),
);

Where 1 is enable and 0 means disable the extension. So just find the your custom modules from this file and set it 0. and run rest of the magento commands like, di:compile, cache:flush, static-content:deploy.

Note: this is for debugging purpose, we should always use `command line
