Rudimentary Information allows you to grab information specifically for an individual theme or plugin by fetching data from the WordPress Themes API and Plugins API. This plugin is very simple yet easy to use by providing a valid slug and field to display a specific information. This plugin uses shortcode to display information.
<h4>Working with Themes</h4>
To display a specific theme, please use the following shortcode
[theme-info slug=’theme-slug’ field=’version’]
The slug is the name of the theme that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.
The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
<h4>Working with Plugins</h4>
To display a specific plugin, please use the following shortcode
[plugin-info slug=’plugin-slug’ field=’version’]
The slug is the name of the plugin that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.
The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
Now supports Meta Box and Widget, an extra feature that you don’t need to waste your time with shortcode but shortcodes will be avaiable if you need to grab small information from the API. For this new feature to work properly, you will need to set a theme slug or plugin slug in the Portfolio (Jetpack Portfolio) page. This will save the slug as part of the page and you can use the plugin info widget or theme info widget to display the specific theme. Displays Tags is also supported in its own Widget.

Guard Dog Security & Site Lock helps WordPress administrators keep their installations clean and secure.
Over time, it’s common for orphaned plugin or theme folders to build up in your wp-content directory. These stray folders may be the result of incomplete uninstallations, leftover files from updates, or abandoned code that was never fully removed. While they might seem harmless at first glance, they can create confusion, waste storage space, and in some cases pose a serious security risk.
Hackers often exploit these forgotten folders by hiding backdoors or malicious scripts inside them, knowing that site owners rarely check for or even notice such files. An orphaned folder can act as an open invitation for unauthorized access, giving attackers a quiet place to operate undetected. 
By identifying and removing these unused folders, you not only keep your WordPress installation clean and organized but also close off potential entry points that could otherwise be used to compromise your site. The Guard Dog Security plugin makes this process simple, scanning your directories to uncover anything that doesn’t belong and highlighting it for review before it becomes a problem.
SITE LOCK – Only found here!
One of the easiest ways for a hacked user to damage your site is by adding or changing the physical files that WordPress relies on. If attackers can place hidden scripts, modify plugin or theme files, or inject malicious code, they gain the power to compromise your entire site.
The Site Lock feature in Guard Dog Security protects against this by allowing you to lock all folders and files in your installation and make them read-only. Once locked, no new files can be added, no existing files can be changed, and nothing can be removed. This ensures that the foundation of your WordPress site remains untouched, even if someone attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or gain access.
When updates or changes are needed, you can unlock the system with a single action, perform your updates, and then reapply the lock. This simple but powerful safeguard gives you complete control over your site’s file structure and adds a layer of security that goes beyond what most WordPress plugins offer.
This plugin scans the following directories: 
– WordPress Root (main installation folder) 
– wp-content Folder (wp-content/) 
– Plugins Folder (wp-content/plugins/) 
– Themes Folder (wp-content/themes/) 
– Uploads Folder (wp-content/uploads/) 
– htaccess files 
– Database tables
Guard Dog Security takes a disk-first approach. It crawls your entire WordPress installation and inventories every single file and folder, not just plugins and themes. Everything is presented in a clear interface where you can open items to view their contents, mark them to ignore, delete them if they are not needed, or download a copy for backup or investigation.
Because it works directly from what is actually on disk, you are never limited by what WordPress shows in the admin. You can quickly spot unfamiliar files, tidy up leftovers from old plugins or themes, and pull down suspicious items for review, all without leaving the dashboard. It provides a fast and transparent way to see exactly what is on your server and take action immediately.
