Plugin Compatibility Checker

very helpful to check our plugin compatibility


The plugin checks in free version up to php 8.0+ compatibility. Who needs to know if a plugin is compatible with an obsolete version of php ?


A joke ?


The free version gave me a basic idea, but the paid version was way more useful. It caught PHP issues that I wouldn’t have noticed before updating. Glad I upgraded because it saved me time fixing errors later. Definitely more helpful when running sites on newer PHP versions.


Actually prevented a break on upgrade

Scan and check your plugins for PHP and WordPress compatibility. Requires a $1/month Portal subscription to obtain a license key.
