This "Deactivate_Plugins_On_Production" script selectively deactivates specified plugins on your production environments based on the site URL. Ideal for disabling plugins that are only necessary on your staging or development sites, such as Query Monitor or Create Block Theme or test utilities or development tools. Specify plugins to deactivate by adding their slugs to the PLUGINS_TO_DEACTIVATE_ON_PRODUCTION array (you can use * wildcard matches). By default, the script will assume this is a Staging/Non-Production site unless the site domain lacks keywords like 'dev', 'staging', 'test', etc., which are checked against in the $stagingKeywords array. For testing the script, you can use $forceDeactivations set to true to ensure the deactivation behavior is working for the plugins you want.  For more info, visit here: https://snipsnip.pro/s/825
