<p><strong>Server Scout</strong> is a tool for server administrators who manage multiple WordPress sites on the same server. Instead of logging into each site one by one, Scout gives you a single dashboard where you can see every WordPress installation on the server and quickly access them.</p>
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Recursively scans a directory of your choice (e.g. <code>/var/www</code>) for all WordPress installations.</li>
<li>Stores the results in a dedicated database table so the dashboard loads instantly without re-scanning.</li>
<li>Refreshes the stored results automatically in the background (WP-Cron), every 30 minutes by default.</li>
<li>Displays each site’s name, URL, WordPress version, and database prefix.</li>
<li>Lists all administrator users for each site (username + email).</li>
<li>Generates a secure, one-time, 5-minute login link so you can jump straight into any site’s admin area without needing the password.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who is it for?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>VPS / dedicated server owners</strong> managing multiple client or personal WordPress sites.</li>
<li><strong>Developers</strong> running several local or staging environments on one machine.</li>
<li><strong>Agencies</strong> with a fleet of sites on a single server.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How scanning & caching works</h4>
<ol>
<li>The first time you open the dashboard, click <strong>Scan Server</strong>.</li>
<li>Results are written to a <code>{prefix}servsc_sites</code> table — one row per installation.</li>
<li>Every later visit renders straight from that table (no filesystem walk).</li>
<li>A background WP-Cron task re-scans the same root on a schedule so the data stays fresh.</li>
<li>Use <strong>Rescan Now</strong> any time to force an immediate refresh.</li>
</ol>
<h4>How login links work</h4>
<ol>
<li>Click <strong>Generate Login Link</strong> next to any admin user.</li>
<li>A cryptographically signed, one-time token is stored in that site’s database (valid for 5 minutes).</li>
<li>The generated link goes through WordPress’s standard <code>admin-ajax.php</code> endpoint — not a direct PHP file — and includes a nonce for request verification.</li>
<li>Opening the link logs you directly into that site’s admin dashboard.</li>
<li>The token is deleted immediately on first use — it cannot be used twice.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Security</h4>
<ul>
<li>Requires the <code>manage_options</code> capability (Administrator) to use the plugin.</li>
<li>All form submissions are protected with WordPress nonces.</li>
<li>Login links use <code>wp_ajax_nopriv_</code> (WordPress AJAX), include a nonce, and go through <code>admin-ajax.php</code>.</li>
<li>Tokens are HMAC-signed with a per-token secret — cannot be forged.</li>
<li>Scan paths are validated with <code>realpath()</code> before use.</li>
<li>All database queries use prepared statements.</li>
<li>The standard <code>wp_login</code> action is fired on login so security plugins (login limiters, audit logs) are notified.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> This plugin is intended for server administrators only. Do not install it on shared hosting environments where you do not control all sites on the server.</p>

<p>Very lightweight and simple plugin that displays the currently installed PHP/MySQL version in the “At a Glance” admin dashboard widget.</p>
<p>In the latest plugin version you can also view the current MySQL version when hovering over the PHP version text. We chose to implement it this way as you may not need to know the MySQL version as often as the PHP version, and it just adds unnecessary visual noise.</p>
<p>Just hover over the PHP version label to display the installed MySQL version.</p>
<p>Also, on some Windows based servers the returned MySQL version can be displayed with a <code>5.5.5-</code> prefix which can be a little annoying, so this is removed for convenience.</p>
<p>Please <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/display-php-version" rel="ugc"><strong>rate</strong></a> this Plugin if you find it useful. It only takes a moment but it’s very much appreciated. 🙂</p>
<p>And here’s how you can <a href='https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=6EW7V4MWJP8ZE' rel="nofollow ugc">help support</a> our open source work. We couldn’t do this without you!</p>
