<h4>🛡️ THE ESSENTIAL TECHNICAL HUD FOR EVERY WORDPRESS PROFESSIONAL</h4>
Stop digging through hidden menus or leaving insecure <code>phpinfo()</code> files on your server. <a href="https://versioninfoplugin.com/" title="Visit the Version Info website" rel="nofollow ugc">Version Info</a> is the essential technical dashboard that brings your site’s most vital environment data directly into your daily workflow — the admin footer, the admin bar, or a dedicated dashboard widget.
Whether you’re a freelancer managing dozens of client sites, a developer debugging a complex plugin conflict, or an agency maintaining a portfolio of high-value properties, having instant access to your PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, and web server type is a mission-critical utility.
Version Info has been trusted by WordPress professionals since 2015 and is now supercharged with a complete PRO + Agency suite for serious site monitoring. Learn more at <a href="https://versioninfoplugin.com/" title="Version Info official website" rel="nofollow ugc">versioninfoplugin.com</a>.
<h4>✨ What Makes Version Info Different?</h4>
Most server info plugins show you a wall of data you don’t need. Version Info is designed around the data you actually use every day, placed exactly where you need it — no extra pages, no bloat, no performance impact.
<ul>
<li>Zero Configuration — Install, activate, done. Versions appear in your footer immediately.</li>
<li>Surgical Precision — Only shows WP, PHP, MySQL, and Server versions. No fluff.</li>
<li>Performance First — Uses native WordPress APIs. Literally zero impact on page load.</li>
<li>Developer Hooks — Every data point is filterable for custom integrations. See the <a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/advanced-configuration-hooks-and-filters" title="Version Info developer documentation" rel="nofollow ugc">developer docs</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>🚀 Core Features (100% Free, Forever)</h4>
These features will always be free. No bait-and-switch.
<ul>
<li>🛠️ Admin Footer Display — See WordPress, PHP, MySQL, and Web Server versions at the bottom of every admin page. Includes a one-click update link when a new WP version is available.</li>
<li>🚦 WP-Admin Bar Nodes — Pin your version stack to the admin bar for instant visibility while navigating between pages, posts, and settings.</li>
<li>📊 Dashboard Widget — A dedicated “At a Glance” style widget showing your complete technical stack. Enable it via Screen Options.</li>
<li>🔄 Core Update Alerts — Automatically compares your WP version with the latest available and shows an update link right in the footer.</li>
<li>💻 Server Detection — Instantly identify Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, or any other server software without leaving WordPress.</li>
<li>🌐 Translation Ready — Fully localized with translations in 13+ languages including Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Chinese, and more. <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/version-info/" title="Translate Version Info on WordPress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Help translate</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>🔥 PRO Plan — Advanced Site Intelligence</h4>
Unlock real-time performance monitoring, environment safety, and proactive health checks. Built for developers who take their stack seriously.

🖥️ Live System Resources HUD in the Dashboard Widget
Turn your dashboard widget into a full server-health command center. One toggle lights up 30+ live stats in clean groups:
<ul>
<li>Identity — Environment, Server Location, OS, Hostname, IP, Port, Document Root, Uptime</li>
<li>Live Resources — CPU + Memory bars with sparklines, PHP memory, Disk usage</li>
<li>Database — Size with data/index split, tables, max connections, max packet</li>
<li>PHP — Runtime limits, loaded modules</li>
<li>WP Status — Core / plugin / theme updates, cron, Health Advisor counts</li>
<li>Diagnostics — HTTPS, WP_DEBUG, object cache, timezones</li>
</ul>
The modern replacement for the abandoned wp-server-stats plugin.
📈 Live CPU & RAM Sparklines
Visual bars plus inline sparklines showing the last ~7.5 minutes of activity — direction-of-travel at a glance, not just current values. Recolors green → orange → red at 70% / 90% thresholds. Works on Linux, Windows, and every managed host we’ve tested.
🌍 Server Location — 4 Pluggable Providers
Know exactly which datacenter your site lives in. Pick the provider that fits your privacy needs:
<ul>
<li>Version Info Geolocation (anonymous) — our own Cloudflare Worker, logs nothing, richest data</li>
<li>Cloudflare cdn-cgi/trace — country-only, zero auth</li>
<li>ip-api.com — free legacy provider</li>
<li>MaxMind GeoLite2 — best ASN accuracy (license-key)</li>
</ul>
30-day cache + a one-click “Detect now” button. <a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/pro-features-server-location/" rel="nofollow ugc">Provider comparison →</a>
💾 Database Size + Connection Limits
Know how bloated your database is before it becomes a problem. Tracks <code>data</code> vs <code>index</code> size for every WP table, plus DB max connections and max packet — critical for WooCommerce stores hitting connection caps during Black Friday. 12-hour cache + “Scan Now” for fresh data.
🛰️ wp-server-stats Parity — and Beyond
Closes the feature gap with the abandoned 2017-era wp-server-stats plugin — without inheriting its <code>shell_exec()</code> dependency that breaks on managed hosts. Adds:
<ul>
<li>Server OS, Hostname, IP, Port, Document Root (path-masked)</li>
<li>Server Uptime (formatted)</li>
<li>PHP Modules accordion (every loaded extension with version)</li>
<li>Disk Usage bar</li>
<li>One-click “Purge VI Caches” button</li>
</ul>
🚨 Smart Environment Indicators
Never accidentally run a destructive query on production again. High-visibility color badges in the admin bar:
<ul>
<li>🔴 Red — Production</li>
<li>🟠 Orange — Staging</li>
<li>🟢 Green — Development / Local</li>
</ul>
Auto-detects Bedrock, Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, and core <code>WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE</code>. Optional admin-bar border highlight matches the environment color.
📜 Version History Audit Log
A persistent timeline of every shift in your WordPress core, PHP, MySQL, plugin, and theme versions. Know exactly when and what changed for fast troubleshooting. Last 50 entries; auto-pruned.
🛡️ Health Advisor
Proactive alerts that predict problems before they happen. Checks your PHP and MySQL versions against known End-of-Life dates and flags critical security risks. Integrates with the native WordPress Site Health screen.
📤 JSON System Info Export
One-click download of your entire technical stack as structured JSON. Perfect for support tickets, host conversations, and pre-migration archives. Includes WordPress config, PHP + extensions, database details, active theme, and every active plugin with version.

<h4>🏛️ Agency Plan — The Command Center for Client Portfolios</h4>
Everything in PRO, plus enterprise-grade tools for agencies, freelancers, and hosting companies managing multiple sites.
<a href="https://versioninfoplugin.com/pricing" title="Version Info Agency pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">Upgrade to Agency →</a> Starting at $49/year.
🏷️ Full Agency White-Labeling
Make it your plugin. Replace “Version Info” and “Gaucho Plugins” everywhere — plugins list, widget, admin bar, footer, settings page. Hide Freemius branding. Optionally:
<ul>
<li>Lock the White Label tab to a single admin so clients can’t undo your branding</li>
<li>Hide every in-plugin docs link sitewide</li>
</ul>
👥 Role-Based Admin Visibility
Keep client dashboards clean. A checkbox matrix controls exactly which WordPress roles see version info in the admin bar, footer, and widget. Default: administrators only.
🌐 Multisite Network Dashboard
A single page under Network Admin → Settings showing WP / PHP / MySQL versions and database size for every site on the network. Cached, capped at 100 sites for performance.
📧 System Change Email Alerts
Get notified the instant something changes — PHP version flips, WP core updates, any plugin or theme version shift. Configurable recipient list, per-component toggles, sensible defaults.
🔍 PHP Error Log Dashboard
Debug without FTP or SSH. View the last 100 lines of your <code>debug.log</code> directly inside WordPress. Efficient tail reading, automatic path masking, ZIP download for offline analysis.

<h4>🎯 Real-World Use Cases</h4>
“The Support Hero” 
A client reports a bug. Instead of asking for their login credentials, you ask them to screenshot their admin footer. You instantly know their PHP version, MySQL version, WordPress version, and web server — without ever logging into their site.
“The WooCommerce Specialist” 
Black Friday is coming. You use Database Tracking to monitor table size growth during the high-traffic event. When <code>wp_options</code> grows 300% overnight, you catch the autoloaded transient bloat before it takes down the store.
“The Agency Owner” 
You hand over a beautifully built site to a high-ticket client. With White-Labeling, the client never sees “Gaucho Plugins” — they see your agency name everywhere. With Role-Based Visibility, the client’s editors see a clean dashboard without confusing server information.
“The Safety-First Developer” 
You manage staging and production environments for the same client. The bright red “Production” badge in your admin bar prevents you from ever accidentally running a migration script on the live site. The admin bar highlight makes the environment unmistakable.
“The Managed Hosting Reseller” 
You run 40 sites on a Multisite installation. The Network Dashboard gives you a single page showing WP, PHP, and MySQL versions across every site — perfect for planning bulk upgrades. When a host updates PHP overnight, the Email Alert hits your inbox before the first support ticket arrives.
“The Remote Debugger” 
A client’s site throws a white screen. You open the Error Log Dashboard directly in wp-admin — no FTP client, no SSH terminal. The last 100 lines show a fatal error from a plugin update. The Version History tab confirms the plugin updated 10 minutes ago. Root cause found in under 60 seconds.
“The wp-server-stats Replacer” 
You’ve been using the abandoned WP Server Health Stats plugin since 2017 because nothing modern replaced it — until now. The Version Info PRO dashboard widget gives you CPU/RAM bars with live sparklines, disk usage, database size with <code>data</code> vs <code>index</code> split, server OS / hostname / IP / port / uptime / location — all in one widget, on every dashboard load, refreshed via the WordPress Heartbeat API. No <code>shell_exec()</code> (so it works on Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways), no abandoned dependencies, no rebuilds required.
<h4>⚡ Performance & Architecture</h4>
Version Info is built with performance as the #1 priority:
<ul>
<li>Transients API — All resource-heavy metrics (CPU, RAM, DB size) are cached. CPU/RAM uses 60-second TTL; database size uses 12-hour TTL.</li>
<li>Heartbeat API — Live resource updates use the native WordPress Heartbeat, ensuring data refreshes only when the admin page is active.</li>
<li>Provider Pattern — A <code>ProviderInterface</code> abstracts all detection logic, making it trivial to add custom providers for AWS, Kinsta, or any host-specific API.</li>
<li>Hook-First Architecture — Every data point fires a WordPress filter (<code>version_info_wp_version</code>, <code>version_info_php_version</code>, etc.) and every render point fires an action. Extend anything without editing core files. See the <a href="https://docs.versioninfoplugin.com/advanced-configuration-hooks-and-filters" title="Version Info hooks reference" rel="nofollow ugc">hooks reference</a>.</li>
<li>Broad Compatibility — The codebase deliberately avoids language features that would lock out legacy hosts, so the plugin still installs on PHP 5.6+ and WordPress 4.7+ (which is, after all, who this plugin is built for). Modern PHP is auto-detected and used where available.</li>
<li>WordPress Coding Standards — Follows WPCS, uses proper escaping, nonce verification, capability checks, and prepared SQL queries throughout.</li>
</ul>
<h4>🌍 Works With Your Stack</h4>
Version Info auto-detects and works seamlessly with:
<ul>
<li>Hosts: Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, Cloudways, SiteGround, and any standard LAMP/LEMP host</li>
<li>Environments: Bedrock, Trellis, Local by Flywheel, MAMP, WAMP, Docker, DevKinsta</li>
<li>Servers: Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, OpenLiteSpeed, IIS</li>
<li>Multisite: Full network-level support with dedicated Network Admin page (Agency)</li>
<li>Translations: 13+ languages with full RTL support</li>
</ul>
