Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes forces WordPress to run a theme and plugin update check whenever you visit the WordPress updates page (<code>/wp-admin/update-core.php</code>).
Force Update Check Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatic checks (no need to click the “check again” button)</li>
<li>No configurations or settings page</li>
<li>Eliminates action for developer or QA</li>
<li>Get new features and security patches faster</li>
</ul>
How it works
By default, WordPress checks for updates approximately every 12 hours. This plugin clears the theme/plugin updates cache and triggers a new update check each time the updates page is visited.
When activated on your site it runs automatically and has no configurations page or settings to worry about. Each time you visit the updates page WordPress will run a new check.
Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes is specifically a plugin and theme check and will not force a WordPress core update check.
Third-party plugins and themes that do not update from the WordPress.org repository may not be cleared by the Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes plugin. If the plugin or theme does not update via the WordPress.org repository, and forcing an update check with this plugin does not work, check with your plugin or theme developer for a force check option.

The Plugin Inspector plugin is an easy way to check plugins installed on your WordPress and make sure that plugins do not use deprecated WordPress functions and some unsafe functions like eval, base64_decode, system, exec, etc. Some of those functions may be used to load malicious code (malware) from the external source directly to the site or WordPress database.
Features
<ul>
<li>Scans plugins for deprecated WordPress functions</li>
<li>Scans plugins for unsafe functions like eval, base64_decode, system, exec, etc.</li>
<li>Checks plugins to find vulnerabilities listed in WPScan Vulnerability Database</li>
<li>Beautiful source code viewer with highlighting</li>
</ul>
Plugin Inspector allows you to view all the deprecated functions complete with path, line number, deprecation function name, and the new recommended function to use. The checks are run through a simple admin page and all results are displayed at once. This is very handy for plugin developers or anybody who want to know more about installed plugins.
All code that uses the deprecated functions should be converted to use its replacement if one exists. Because deprecated functions are no longer supported may be removed from future versions of WordPress.
To check the theme files, please, use Theme Check plugin.

Plugin Inspector

Every plugin developer should be using this.
Thankyou Gioni.



Beautiful

Very useful for plugin developers to run a quick check of their code throughout development.



Great plugin

Works as advertised. Very scary to see so many plugins have so many security issues. As long as WordPress allows unsafe themes and plugins to get activated, it will never be safe, no matter how much they secure the core.



Very Cool !

Thank you very much for developing this plugin and keeping it up-to date.
Thankful to your efforts and time.



Nice Plugin

Checks plugins for deprecated WordPress functions, known security vulnerabilities and some unsafe PHP functions
