I have created a visual web part using visual studio of type "Farm solution", then I add the wsp file using the following command:-

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Add-SPSolution c:\RedirectManagedMetaData.wsp

after that this solution appeared under the "CA>>System Setting>>Manage Farm Solutions", as follow:-

enter image description here

now from the central administration I only have the option to deploy it to web application/s level, while in my case I only need this wsp solution to be inside single site collection and not to all site collections within my web application. So is there a way to deploy a farm solution to specific site collection/s?

No, there is no way to deploy a solution to a particular site collection. A solution is deployed either Globally to all web applications or a single web application. It is the feature inside the solution which can be deployed to a farm/webapplication/site collection/web.

  • Change the Scope of the feature to Site. That way it won't be automatically activated.

Usually you deploy your farm solution to web application, but you activate solution's feature(s) only on desired site collection.

Set Your Feature Scope to "Site" instead of "Farm".
