Health Check & Troubleshooting

Description

This plugin will perform a number of checks on your WordPress installation to detect common configuration errors and known issues, and also allows plugins and themes to add their own checks.

The debug section, which allows you to gather information about your WordPress and server configuration that you may easily share with support representatives for themes, plugins or on the official www.remarpro.com support forums.

Troubleshooting allows you to have a clean WordPress session, where all plugins are disabled, and a default theme is used, but only for your user until you disable it or log out.

The Tools section allows you to check that WordPress files have not been tampered with, that emails can be sent, and if your plugins are compatible with any PHP version updates in the future.

For a more extensive example of how to efficiently use the Health Check plugin, check out the www.remarpro.com support team handbook page about this plugin.

Feedback is welcome both through the www.remarpro.com forums, the GitHub project page, or on Slack in either #forums or #core-site-health.

The PHP compatibility says this plugin only work with PHP version X?

The plugin is made to be a support tool for as many users as possible, this means it needs code that is written for older sites as well.

Tools that check for PHP compatibility do not know how to separate this code from the real code, so it will give a false positive response.

At this time, the plugin has been tested with every version of PHP from 5.2 through 7.3, and works with all of these.

A disaster!

labalme August 27, 2024

A disaster! The plugin deactivated and deleted most of my plugins. Impossible to restore without restoring the site from a backup. I’ve been an experienced woocommerce seller for many years and I haven’t been able to solve the problem created by this plugin without restoring the backup from my host.

Wow

I didn’t try it because of negative reviews and untested. If the problem is 53 out of 100 negative, that’s more than half. Why is it still being offered as a means of help and health of your website???

Bei mir hat dieses Plugin perfekt funktioniert, danke!!!Zur Funktionsweise: Sobald dieses Plugin installiert und aktiviert ist, werden alle anderen Plugins deaktiviert. Nun kann man nacheinander jedes der schon zuvor vorhandenen Plugins aktivieren und jeweils prüfen, ob das Problem soeben behoben wurde.Bei meiner Webseite hatte < MainWP Child > das Problem verursacht.
