Pre-flight compatibility checks for WordPress core upgrades — surface deprecated functions, renamed hooks, and plugin version gaps before they break production.
The most expensive WordPress problems happen after an update. A deprecated function called by a plugin, a hook that was renamed in WordPress 6.x, a plugin tested only against WP 5.4 — any of these can take a site down immediately after a major upgrade. Risk Indicators scans for all three categories before you run the update, so you know exactly what might break and can plan accordingly.
Scans the live WordPress deprecated function registry and checks which active plugins call functions that have been formally deprecated. For each match, shows the function name, the version it was deprecated in, and its recommended replacement.
Scans the live $wp_filter for hook names that were renamed, removed, or changed in recent WordPress major releases. If a plugin is listening on a hook that no longer fires, its functionality will silently stop working after a WordPress core upgrade.
Queries the WordPress.org API for each active plugin and checks whether it has been tested against your current WordPress version. Plugins with a large "tested up to" version gap are flagged as upgrade risks.
No. Risk Indicators is entirely observational. It scans existing code and checks external APIs — it never modifies any file, plugin, theme, or database record.
It queries the WordPress.org Plugin API for each plugin's "tested up to" metadata. This is only as accurate as plugin authors' self-reporting. The flag means "warrants manual testing," not "is definitely broken."
No. Risk Indicators is a Pro-exclusive module and requires a Pro license to access.
Before any major WordPress version update, before any PHP version upgrade, and before updating plugins that have had significant major version jumps.
