WP-PluginsUsed 2.0.0

WP-PluginsUsed 2.0.0 is a total rewrite of the plugin with Claude Code to make it more modern and testable. There will be breaking changes. Please do test it https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-pluginsused/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

WP-PluginsUsed 2.0.0 requires WordPress 6.8 and PHP 8.2. A site on an older stack is simply not offered the update, so if WP-PluginsUsed has stopped appearing in your updates list, that is why.

The three filters are renamed, and the old names do nothing at all: pluginsused_show_version is now wp_pluginsused_show_version, pluginsused_hidden_plugins is now wp_pluginsused_hidden_plugins, and pluginsused_plugins_used is now wp_pluginsused_plugins_used.

Same arguments, same return value, same place in the page. This one fails silently: nothing errors, the plugin simply stops asking your code what it thinks. The symptom is version numbers you had switched off coming back, or a plugin you had hidden reappearing, days after an update nobody connects it to. Search your theme’s functions.php, any snippets plugin and wp-content/mu-plugins for pluginsused_.

Configuration moved from the plugin file to a settings screen. 1.50 was configured by editing wp-pluginsused.php itself, so every plugin update wiped the changes. Neither escape route is read any more: the PLUGINSUSED_SHOW_VERSION constant, often parked in wp-config.php, and the $pluginsused_hidden_plugins global. Set both at WP-Admin -> Settings -> WP-PluginsUsed.

Smaller changes. The plugin stores wp_pluginsused_options and wp_pluginsused_version; deleting it from the Plugins screen removes both. The summary sentence was rewritten so its bold formatting is no longer part of the translated string, so on a non-English site those phrases fall back to English until translate.wordpress.org catches up. The shortcodes, display_pluginsused() and the older function names are unchanged.
