Stop manually disabling plugins one-by-one. Our intelligent conflict detection engine finds the problem automatically. **“Find plugin conflicts before your users do.”** #### Core Features **🔍 Automatic Plugin Conflict Detection** Scan all active plugins, detect compatibility issues, monitor PHP fatal errors, JavaScript conflicts, AJAX failures, and REST API errors. Every plugin receives a Stability Score. **🧪 Safe Test Mode** Session-based sandbox lets you disable plugins only for your admin session. Visitors continue seeing the live site normally — zero downtime, zero risk. **🔬 Smart Conflict Isolation Engine** Binary search algorithm intelligently narrows down which plugin is causing your issue. Disable plugins one-by-one inside Safe Mode until errors disappear. **⏪ One-Click Rollback** Download and restore previous plugin versions from WordPress. org. Automatic restore points are created before every plugin update. **📊 Real-Time Error Monitor** Live dashboard showing PHP errors, fatal crashes, JavaScript conflicts, AJAX failures, REST API issues, and memory usage. **🛒 WooCommerce Compatibility Scanner** Dedicated WooCommerce diagnostics: checkout issue detection, payment gateway conflict analysis, and WooCommerce-safe plugin badges. **🚨 Emergency Recovery Mode** If WordPress crashes, use your personal Recovery URL to access a lightweight emergency interface — even when WP Admin is inaccessible. **📅 Conflict Timeline** Visual event timeline tracing every plugin activation, deactivation, update, crash, rollback, and conflict detection. **⚡ Plugin Health Scoring** Each plugin receives Stability, Security, Update Activity, and Performance impact scores. #### Why Conflict Guard? * 100% FREE — no locked features, no aggressive upsells * Lightweight — uses async background scans, transient caching * Beginner-friendly — clear, modern SaaS-style dashboard * Developer-grade — binary isolation, detailed error reporting * Non-invasive — Safe Mode only affects your admin session * Secure — nonce verification, capability checks, prepared SQL #### Compatibility * WordPress 6.0+ * PHP 8.0+ * WooCommerce (full integration) * Elementor * Gutenberg * WordPress Multisite * Shared & cloud hosting environments #### How It Works 1.

Upload the `conflict-guard` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Navigate to **Conflict Guard** in your admin menu 4. Run your first scan ## FAQ ### Does Safe Mode affect my visitors? No. Safe Mode is session-based — only your admin browser session sees plugin changes. All visitors continue seeing the normal live site. ### Can I rollback a plugin that’s not on WordPress.org? Currently, automatic version downloads work for WordPress.org-hosted plugins. For premium/third-party plugins, restore points are created automatically before updates. ### Is this plugin really free? Yes, 100% free forever. There are no locked features, no premium version, and no mandatory upgrades. ### What happens when I uninstall? All plugin data (database tables, options, transients, scheduled events) is completely removed on uninstall. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes! There’s a dedicated WooCommerce scanner that checks checkout health, payment gateways, and detects common WooCommerce plugin conflicts. ### How do I support the plugin? The plugin is free forever. If it helped you, you can donate via PayPal from the Settings tab inside the plugin dashboard. Even a small amount helps keep it maintained! ### Who can use the Rollback and Emergency Recovery features on a multisite network? On a multisite network, rollback and recovery actions are restricted to network administrators (users with the `manage_network_options` capability), since these actions affect plugin files shared across the entire network. On a single-site install, any user with `manage_options` (typically the site admin) can use them. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Conflict Guard” is open source software.

[Browse the code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/conflict-guard/), check out the [SVN repository](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/conflict-guard/), or subscribe to the [development log](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/conflict-guard/) by [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/conflict-guard/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Changelog #### 1.0.5 * Fixed: DROP TABLE in uninstall.php used an interpolated variable directly in the query string — now uses the %i identifier placeholder (WP 6.2+) with a safe allow-list fallback for older WordPress versions * Fixed: DELETE FROM query in uninstall.php now uses $wpdb->prepare() with %s/% i placeholders instead of interpolating $wpdb->options directly into the SQL string * Fixed: Documented why uninstall.php’s one-time cleanup queries don’t use object- cache functions (wp_cache_get/wp_cache_set) — they run once during uninstall, not on a normal read path, so there’s no cacheable result to store * Fixed: Shortened the 1.0.4 upgrade notice to fit within the 300-character WordPress. org limit #### 1.0.4 * Fixed: Emergency Recovery module was never booted (Recovery::instance() was missing from the plugin’s init sequence), so the recovery key was never generated and the recovery page never worked * Fixed: Database table creation used “CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS”, which dbDelta() cannot parse correctly (it misreads the table name as the literal word “IF”); also combined three CREATE TABLE statements into a single dbDelta() call, which is unreliable — each table now uses its own statement and call, with the required two-space “PRIMARY KEY” formatting * Fixed: Uninstall routine’s DROP TABLE used $wpdb->prepare() with a %s placeholder wrapped in backticks, which produced invalid SQL (quotes inside backticks) — table names are plugin-controlled constants, not user input, so they’re now sanitized directly * Fixed: Removed the incorrect “Network: true” plugin header, which forced network- only activation on multisite and hid the plugin from per-site activation — this contradicted the plugin’s own per-site, per-user design * Fixed: Replaced deprecated wp.element.render() (deprecated since WP 6.2) with createRoot(), falling back to render() only on WordPress 6.0/6.1 where createRoot() isn’t available * Fixed: Corrected several stale/incorrect strings in the translation template ( languages/conflict-guard.pot): wrong “Author” entry, a malformed support-forum URL, and an outdated project version * Fixed: Removed a stray empty directory accidentally bundled into the plugin ZIP since an early build #### 1.0.3 * Fixed: Recovery page now uses wp_enqueue_style() via template_redirect instead of inline tags * Fixed: Removed unnecessary core file loads (class-wp-upgrader.php, class-wp-ajax- upgrader-skin.php) from download_version() — these are now only loaded where actually used, in perform_rollback() * Fixed: Added a stricter permission_callback (check_sensitive_permission) for routes that change plugin files or expose the recovery URL — requires manage_network_options on multisite, manage_options on single-site * Improved: New assets/css/recovery.css file for the emergency recovery page styling #### 1.0.2 * Fixed: SchemaChange phpcs warning in uninstall.php with proper documentation * Fixed: Short description trimmed to under 150 characters * Fixed: Prefixed all global variables in uninstall.php * Fixed: set_error_handler phpcs warning with inline justification * Fixed: PreparedSQL interpolation warning in DROP TABLE statement * Improved: All PCD prefixes replaced with CONFGU (4+ chars) per WP.org guidelines * Improved: Removed load_plugin_textdomain() — auto-loaded since WP 4.6 * Improved: External Services section added to readme.txt #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Automatic plugin conflict detection * Safe Test Mode with session sandbox * Smart binary conflict isolation * One-click rollback system * Real-time error monitoring * WooCommerce compatibility scanner * Emergency recovery mode * Conflict timeline * Plugin health scoring system * Diagnostic report export ## Meta * Version **1.0.5** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Tags * [conflict](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/conflict/)[debug](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/debug/) [rollback](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rollback/)[troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/troubleshooting/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/conflict-guard/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
