Version Info 2.1.2Latest
- Updated Freemius SDK to the latest version.
Version Info 2.1.0
- Updated Freemius SDK to 2.13.4.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
- Free: New Memory & Server IP display — PHP memory limit, live usage %, and server IP in the admin footer, admin bar, and dashboard widget (toggle under Settings → General, on by default). Gracefully hides on hosts where memory_get_usage/SERVER_ADDR are unavailable.
- Free: New PHP EOL countdown — the dashboard widget shows your PHP version’s lifecycle status, and the footer/admin bar show a days-remaining countdown once EOL is within a year (or a “PHP past EOL” flag).
- Free: New Copy as Markdown — an admin-bar item and dashboard-widget button that copy your WP/PHP/MySQL/server/memory stack as a Markdown table for support tickets, GitHub issues, and forum posts. Works on old browsers and HTTP-only admins via a clipboard fallback.
- PRO: New SSL Certificate Expiry check in Health Advisor + Site Health — warns at 21 days, critical at 7 days/expired. Renewal-friendly thresholds; informational-only when the host blocks the probe. Cached 12 hours (version_info_ssl_cache_ttl filter), listed in Purge VI Caches.
- PRO: Health Advisor now grades PHP against WordPress core’s WP 7.0 support matrix — below 7.4 critical, 7.4–8.2 “supported but below recommended”, 8.3+ passing (8.5 fully supported).
- PRO: EOL data refreshed — PHP 8.5 (EOL 2029-12-31) and MySQL 9.7 LTS (2034-04-21) added. PHP EOL dates now live in one shared table used by both the free countdown and the PRO Health Advisor.
- PRO: System Change Email Alerts moved from Agency to PRO. Existing Agency customers keep the feature and all saved settings.
- Fix: Agency-trial users now see their Agency tabs unlocked (previously the tabs showed as locked while the features were active).
- Fix: VERSION_INFO_VERSION constant was stale at 2.0.1 since two releases; now locked to the plugin header version.
Version Info 2.0.3
- Fix: Saving the Server Location tab no longer disables the dashboard widget (or the admin-bar / footer / Show Live System Resources toggles). The location options now live in their own version_info_location_group settings group instead of sharing version_info_general_group with the General-tab chec…
Version Info 2.0.2
- PRO: New General-settings toggle “Show Live System Resources in Dashboard Widget” enriches the WP admin dashboard widget with the full collected dataset — CPU load with bar + sparkline + load avg + cores, system memory with bar + sparkline + used/total, PHP memory + peak, disk usage with bar, datab…
- PRO: CPU and Memory rows now render a compact inline-SVG sparkline alongside the percent bar — a rolling 30-sample history (~7.5 min at the dashboard’s 15s Heartbeat cadence). Sparkline stroke recolors green/orange/red on the same 70%/90% thresholds as the bar.
- PRO: New Server Location row in the widget. Resolution order: 30-day transient cache → configured provider lookup → reverse-DNS fallback → graceful “Unknown”. A “Detect now” button on the Server Location tab busts the cache and re-runs the lookup.
- PRO: Server OS, Hostname, Server IP, Server Port, Document Root (masked through [ABSPATH]), DB Max Connections, DB Max Allowed Packet, and Server Uptime rows. Closes the parity gap with the abandoned wp-server-stats plugin (last released 2017) without inheriting its shell_exec() dependency.
- PRO: Server Location now offers four selectable providers with an enable/disable checkbox: Version Info Geolocation (anonymous) (default — our own Cloudflare Worker at geo.versioninfoplugin.com, logs nothing, returns city/region/country/postal/timezone/lat-long/ASN/datacenter), Cloudflare cdn-cgi/t…
- PRO: System Resources tab gains a collapsible PHP Modules list and a one-click Purge VI Caches button.
- PRO: CPU, memory, and disk rows in the dashboard widget display compact color-coded percent bars matching the System Resources tab. CPU and memory bars redraw live on every WordPress Heartbeat tick — no page reload required.
- PRO: Aggregate widget extras cached for 5 minutes behind a transient (filterable via version_info_widget_extras_ttl) so the widget stays snappy.
- Settings → General now dynamically hides the “Show Live System Resources in Dashboard Widget” row until the parent “Show Version Info as Dashboard Widget” toggle is enabled — keeps the form uncluttered until the option is meaningful.
- Agency: New “Lock Tab to Current User” checkbox on the White Label tab. When enabled the White Label tab is hidden from every other administrator and direct POST writes to white-label options are blocked from non-owners. The lock auto-releases if the owner’s account is deleted, and also self-heals…
- Agency: New “Hide Doc Links” checkbox on the White Label tab. When enabled, in-plugin links to docs.versioninfoplugin.com are suppressed across every settings tab so client-facing dashboards never expose the underlying plugin’s documentation domain.
- New: Inline doc links on every settings tab pointing at the matching docs.versioninfoplugin.com page for the feature being configured.
Version Info 2.0.1
- Backwards compatibility: lowered minimum PHP to 5.6 and minimum WordPress to 4.7. The previous 2.0.0 minimums (PHP 8.1 / WP 5.5) were inappropriate for a plugin whose audience is by definition running older environments.
- Refactored the codebase to remove PHP 7.0+/7.1+/7.4+/8.0+/8.1+ syntax: declare(strict_types=1), scalar parameter typehints, return type declarations, null coalescing ??, Throwable, typed properties, arrow functions, match expressions, str_starts_with(), mixed parameter type, nullable return types (…
- No functionality removed — every PRO/Agency feature still works exactly as in 2.0.0.
- Health Advisor’s “PHP minimum version” check now flags pre-7.4 as a recommendation (since the wider ecosystem considers 7.4 the active-support floor), rather than claiming the plugin itself requires 8.1.
- Added EOL data for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and MySQL 5.5 so legacy hosts get accurate advice from Health Advisor.
- Feature-detect wp_date() (WP 5.3+) and wp_timezone_string() (WP 5.3+) so the plugin degrades gracefully on WP 4.7+.
- Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0.
