Gridly Design Overlay

Gridly Design Overlay adds a front-end grid overlay that helps developers and site builders check responsive layout alignment while working on WordPress sites.
The plugin includes a settings page under Settings where administrators can configure:
<ul>
<li>Overlay visibility.</li>
<li>Overlay color.</li>
<li>Overlay opacity.</li>
<li>Desktop grid container width.</li>
<li>Desktop, tablet, and mobile columns.</li>
<li>Desktop, tablet, and mobile gaps.</li>
<li>Desktop, tablet, and mobile side spacing.</li>
</ul>
Tablet settings apply from 480px through 1024px. Mobile settings apply up to 479px.

Adds a responsive grid overlay to help check WordPress layouts during development.

Modules Insight helps WordPress developers and site managers audit installed plugins, assess the risk of upgrading PHP, and export complete reports — all from a single on-demand scan.
<h3>PHP Upgrade Risk Evaluator</h3>
Planning a server PHP upgrade? MI queries the WordPress.org API for each installed plugin and produces a colour-coded risk table showing how likely each plugin is to break on your target PHP version.
Each plugin is rated Low, Medium, High, or Not on WP.org based on two signals:
1. Last Updated — how recently the plugin received a release on WordPress.org. 
2. Minimum PHP Declared — the <code>Requires PHP</code> field set by the plugin author.
Risk is assigned as follows:
<ul>
<li>High — Not updated in over 3 years, or declares a minimum PHP below 7.0. These carry the greatest risk of breaking on PHP 8.x and should be investigated before upgrading.</li>
<li>Medium — Falls between High and Low. Test on a staging environment before upgrading production.</li>
<li>Low — Updated within the last 12–18 months and declares PHP 7.4 or higher as its minimum. Likely compatible, but a quick smoke test after upgrading is still recommended.</li>
<li>Not on WP.org — Not found in the WordPress.org directory (premium plugins, custom code). Compatibility must be verified manually with the vendor.</li>
</ul>
Important: risk ratings are based on publicly available metadata, not code analysis. A Low-rated plugin could still have incompatibilities; a High-rated plugin might work perfectly. Use the table as a triage guide, not a guarantee. Always test on a staging environment before upgrading PHP on a live server.
Results from the WordPress.org API are cached per plugin for 24 hours to avoid unnecessary external requests.
<h3>Plugin List and Reports</h3>
MI lists all installed plugins (active, inactive, and network-active on multisite) with version numbers, author details, and descriptions. It also reports the active WordPress version and active theme.
Reports can be exported as <code>.json</code> or <code>.csv</code>. Both formats include the PHP compatibility data if a check has been run prior to export.
Tested and fully compatible with WordPress 7.0.
