WordPress.org Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nIf WordPress hasn't checked for plugin or theme updates yet, the check also asks it to run its own update check, which WordPress normally does twice a day.<\/p>\n\n
The weekly email is sent with your site's own mail settings (wp_mail()<\/code>), to the address you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Install SteadyDevs Upkeep Check from Plugins \u2192 Add New Plugin and activate it.<\/li>\n
- Go to Tools \u2192 Upkeep Check<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Press Check my plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes it slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. It does nothing on the front end. In the admin, it does nothing until you press the button; the Plugins screen and Site Health only read the last saved report.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why is a plugin \"not checkable\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt isn't in the WordPress.org directory: it's a premium plugin, a custom one, or it updates from somewhere else. Ask its developer whether it is still maintained.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is an old plugin always a problem?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot always. Some small plugins are finished and still work. That's why one to two years without an update is marked \"keep an eye on it\", only over two years or a closure is marked to act on, and you can mark any plugin you've reviewed with Keep anyway<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\nA plugin was updated recently but shows as stale.<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe dates come from WordPress.org. Press Check again<\/strong> to refresh them.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhere do the PHP dates come from?<\/h3><\/dt>\nFrom php.net's supported versions page. They're built into the plugin, so checking PHP makes no outside request.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What does it store?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThree options: the last report, the plugins you marked \"Keep anyway\", and the weekly-check settings. Deleting the plugin removes all three and the weekly schedule.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Themes are checked too.<\/li>\n
- Warnings under plugins that need attention on the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
- \"Keep anyway\" for plugins and themes you've reviewed.<\/li>\n
- \"Find alternatives\" links for closed and abandoned plugins.<\/li>\n
- Optional weekly check with an email when something newly needs attention.<\/li>\n
- Download the report as CSV.<\/li>\n
- WP-CLI:
wp upkeep check<\/code> and wp upkeep report<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Faster checks: lookups go out in parallel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
