About this plugin
2 and you want to know what will break? 4.
Findings are separated into fatal breakage (the site stops loading) and silent failure — code that raises no visible error while a contact form or a checkout stops doing its job. The two need different responses, so the report keeps them apart.
The scan detects, among other things:
- functions removed in PHP 8 ( create_function, each, mysql_*, mcrypt_* …) and pre-PHP 7 relics;
- removed syntax that prevents a file from loading at all ( $string{0} offsets, unparenthesized nested ternaries);
- $this in static context, static calls to instance methods, PHP 4-style constructors silently ignored by PHP 8;
- optional parameters declared before required ones, implicit nullable types (PHP 8.4), dynamic properties (PHP 8.2), null passed to non-nullable internal functions (PHP 8.1).
Every issue is classified by severity, explained in plain language, located (file + line) and given a fix-time estimate. The report can be printed to PDF from your browser.
Privacy and safety. The analysis is static: your site’s code is never executed. The plugin modifies no files and makes no network requests to any external service.
Nothing leaves your server.
Free scanner, optional repair service. The scanner is and stays fully functional and free — nothing is locked. If a scan finds issues that automatic patches can cover, it shows a single dismissible suggestion for WP Rescue Repair, our separate paid service: verified patches applied with a safety net (canary that rolls back by itself, targeted snapshots, out-of-WordPress rescue page).
Hide the suggestion once and it stays hidden.
The plugin is fully translated into French (français).
