Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

The Viking Critical Change Alert is a WordPress plugin that logs and reports critical site changes. The plugin is fully admin-only and theme-agnostic, meaning it works with any WordPress theme.

The plugin automatically logs the following critical changes:

  • Plugin Updates: When plugins are updated
  • Plugin Activation/Deactivation: When plugins are activated or deactivated
  • Theme Switches: When the theme is switched
  • New Admin Users: When new administrator accounts are created

The admin dashboard provides:

  • Summary Cards: Overview of events in the last 24 hours
  • Events Table: Complete list of all events with filters
  • Search Function: Search by plugin name, theme name, or username
  • Filter Tabs: Filter by event type (All, Plugin Updates, Plugin On/Off, Theme, Admin Users)
  • Clear Log: Button to clear all events (secured with nonce)

Optional daily digest email:

  • Configurable time (default 09:00)
  • Multiple recipients (comma-separated)
  • HTML email with overview and link to admin page

Optional webhook integration:

  • Webhook notifications to n8n, Slack, etc.
  • Two modes: Immediate (send per event) or Digest only (send only with daily digest)
  • Optional redaction mode: only event types and counts, no item labels
