<p>PHP Compatibility Scanner helps you assess whether your site’s code (plugins and themes) is likely to run on newer versions of PHP. It performs static analysis using PHP_CodeSniffer and the PHPCompatibilityWP ruleset to flag code patterns that are incompatible with the selected target PHP version.</p>
<p>What the plugin does (at a glance):<br />
– Compares your current runtime PHP (baseline) to a selected target PHP version (8.0–8.4).<br />
– Scans plugins and themes, then highlights only the new issues that would appear on the target version (the “delta”).<br />
– Shows results in a clear report on the Tools screen and adds small badges on the Plugins list screen.<br />
– Lets you pause, resume, or stop a running scan.</p>
<p>Important limitations of static analysis:<br />
– Static analysis can miss issues in dynamic code paths and can generate false positives. Treat results as guidance, not guarantees. Always test site functionality on a staging environment before upgrading PHP in production.</p>

<p>Incompatibility Status adds a status message to the admin dashboard to display possible incompatibility issues using the block editor and full-site editing.</p>
<p>Incompatibility Status is a WordPress plugin that checks for possibly incompatible configurations concerning the new<br />
block editor and full-site editing features of WordPress that might conflict with existing plugins and settings like<br />
page builders, the classic editor plugin, or themes and plugins that do not support the intended WordPress features yet.</p>
<p>In your WordPress admin dashboard at <code>wp-admin</code>, you should see a status message to inform you about possibly<br />
incompatible configurations, like using a classic editor together with a block enabled theme, or using full-site-editing<br />
functionality together with a classic site builder.</p>
<p>A warning about a possible incompatibility does not mean that something is wrong or not working as intended!</p>
<p>As the latest default WordPress themes, like Twenty Twenty-Three, support blocks and full-site editing, it will show up as a potential conflict using that theme together with a classic editor plugin, although this might be exactly what you intended to do. But this warnings can be handy for a quick check of an existing  configuration that you did not set up yourself.</p>
<p>Currently, this plugin only performs rudimentary checks. This will be extended in future versions.</p>
