Changelog #### Version 0.9 * fixed debug bar check * better WordPress version check * updated WordPress requirement * fixed fatal error on dns_get_record * fixed undefined variable notices * fixed E_DEPRECATED notices * added a check for wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’) * improved Themeforest check #### Version 0.8 * fixed header alert on plugins page * fixed bold message under plugin row * added more information and a apache_get_modules check * moved apache_get_modules info to the top if apache_get_modules isn’t found #### Version 0.7.8 * more accurate error reporting * added wp_debug check * displays a pass if wp_debug is true and debug bar is active #### Version 0.7.7 * fixes Media Temple check * updated some warning text and rearranged server environment checks so all the server stuff is together and all the hosting stuff is after everything else #### Version 0.7.6 * adds a check before wp_get_theme function is run * adds more comments to code #### Version 0.7.5 * added upload_max_filesize check * added phpinfo link in the php section * adds check for themeforest author uri * adds php strict checking * abstrats the version number at the bottom of the requirements check page to a function that gets it from the plugin version (so it doesn’t need to be updated in two places in every update) * adds Media Temple check * displays link to installed apache modules on mod_security warning * makes error levels to look for an array #### Version 0.7.4 * removed apache problems check (was detecting problems when there were none) * moved mod_rewrite check to top of file, using `$mod_rewrite` as a global variable * adds changelog #### Version 0.7.3 * adds an exception to the godaddy flag if using wp engine and displays a message if they are on a wp engine site #### Version 0.7.2 * this update adds server environment variables for htaccess/mod_rewrite problems #### Version 0.7.1 * minor update, adds initial default value for `$apache_problems` variable. #### Version 0.7 * minor fix that hides apache version if it’s the same as the `$webserver` variable( which uses `$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']`). probably doesn’t apply to most environments other than localhost installs that seem to dump more stuff into that variable. * on my live server apache_get_version() just returns “Apache” with no actual version number…so this should only display if the two things are different (which they may well never be)… #### Version 0.6.2 * adds .htaccess check and outputs contents of .htaccess file for debugging * fixes link to requirements page from plugins page * adds a check for htaccess and displays the contents of the htaccess file(s) if found. if not, displays an information message. * adds a phpinfo file for more information about failed checks * adds a check for `apache_get_modules`, if that fails, it triggers an “apache_problems” flag which is an automatic fail * adds scripts to the plugins.php page to load the stylesheets on that page * displays apache version if `apache_get_version` is present * displays a warning if `mod_security` or `mod_rewrite` are not found on an apache installation * displays a fail if `apache_get_modules` is not found on an apache installation * adds a flag for htaccess files in all possible directories and does a better check for if those files are found * checks if the htaccess file exists before displaying the hidden div with the contents * displays installed apache modules if `apache_get_modules` is present * displays a requirements check version for debugging * removes phpinfo link on requirements page for `apache_get_modules` error since it’s being displayed in the top fail error * fixed some layout issues * changed some language in the mod_rewrite/htaccess info alert #### Version 0.6.1 * changed > to >= for memory check (64M shouldn’t trigger warning) #### Version 0.6 * updates iis messages so they are using the same layout as everything else * adds break-word class to IIS message #### Version 0.5 * updated versions it checks for, and added a requirements check page that shows what you are using * adds some extra server environment parameters * finishes up the checks, and plugs it into the alert on the plugins page. * adds css and icon * changed db check to fix josh’s fatal errors * cleans up the markup with some twitter bootstrap styles * adds glyphicon set. technically this isn’t gpl, but that’s okay because we’re not posting this in the wp repository * adds some twitter bootstrap grid stuff * added some alert styling and other cosmetic updates * updated messages on the plugins page * fixed repeating icon thing * updated author & notes * fixes fatal error if `apache_get_modules` doesn’t exist * breaks word for wp version and mysql version (pretty much just for firefox and possibly IE) * moves submenu to tools instead of Plugins #### Version 0.1 * Original Version ## Meta * Version **0.9.2** * Last updated **9 years ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 3.9 or higher ** * Tested up to **4.9.29** * Tags * [event management](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/event-management/)[event registration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/event-registration/) [event ticketing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/event-ticketing/)[events](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/events/) [forms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/forms/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-espresso-requirements-check/advanced/) ##
