Features
The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.
- Baselines from WordPress.org — the reference is the pristine, official release, not the files already on disk. That is what makes real drift detectable
- SHA-256 file comparison — fast, reliable detection of modified, new and deleted files
- Visual diff viewer — see exactly what changed, line by line, in unified or split view
- Inline admin warnings — modified plugins are flagged on the Plugins screen and modified themes get a badge on the Themes screen
- Update protection — a clear warning is shown before updating an item that has custom modifications, so changes are never lost unexpectedly
- Keep or revert — for any detected change, either adopt your edits as the new baseline or restore the original files from WordPress.org. Restoring is always…
- Automatic baseline refresh — after an authorized WordPress update, the baseline is regenerated automatically
- Configurable scan frequency — hourly, twice daily, daily, weekly or disabled
- Scans in the background — comparisons run on a scheduled WordPress cron event, never during a page load, so the admin stays responsive
- Optimized for large plugins — change detection compares SHA-256 hashes, so even very large plugins (thousands of files) are checked in about a second
Details
Detect edits to your plugins and themes by comparing them against the original files from WordPress.org, and get warned before updates overwrite them.
