WordPress File Monitor

Good plugin

Go and install it right away! You have no idea how much time you'd save by doing it NOW!

Best plugin to log, track, and monitor the file changes.

Background:

Earlier, I was using a plugin that contained file monitoring as one of the features. That plugin was heavily bloated with numerous other features that I wouldn't use. Have been looking for a dedicated plugin for files monitoring. This fits my use case perfectly. What's more the author of this plugin, @nicolly, is responsive on the support forum, even though he's not obliged to do so as this is a free plugin. Even my stupid feature request was accepted and fixed the underlying problem in my own workflow.

This is a gem. Currently, switching it in place of the other plugin on all my clients' sites!

Will save your precious time some day!

Does what it says :)

<ul>
<li>Completely rewritten from the ground up using best practises for writing WordPress plugins</li>
<li>Code wrapped in a class so better namespace.</li>
<li>You can set the cron interval, allowing for more frequent checks.</li>

WP Updates Notifier

It's ok for theme and plugins notifications, but notification about core updates does't work for more than one year!
This plugin probably won't recieve an update anymore.

Out-of date and not fully working

Sends email to notify you if there are any updates for your WordPress site. Can notify about core, plugin and theme updates.
