 * 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](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.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwp-pluginsused-2-0-0%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
