<p>The Viking Abandoned Monitor is a lightweight, admin-only WordPress plugin that helps you identify potentially abandoned or outdated plugins on your site. It scans all installed plugins and classifies them based on their last update date from the WordPress.org plugins API.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Plugin Scanning</strong>: Scans all installed plugins and checks their last update date via WordPress.org API</li>
<li><strong>Status Classification</strong>: Classifies plugins as Safe, Risk, or Abandoned based on configurable thresholds</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard Overview</strong>: Beautiful dashboard with summary cards and filterable plugin table</li>
<li><strong>Weekly Email Reports</strong>: Automatically sends weekly summary emails with top abandoned and risk plugins</li>
<li><strong>Optional Webhook Integration</strong>: Send data to external services like n8n (completely optional, disabled by default)</li>
<li><strong>WordPress.org Compliant</strong>: Fully compliant with WordPress.org guidelines, no deceptive behavior</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong>: No external SDKs or bloat, uses WordPress core functions only</li>
<li><strong>Secure</strong>: Proper nonces, capability checks, and data sanitization</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>The plugin scans all installed plugins on your site</li>
<li>For each plugin, it attempts to resolve the WordPress.org slug (from PluginURI, UpdateURI, or folder name)</li>
<li>It fetches plugin information from WordPress.org API (with 48-hour caching to avoid rate limits)</li>
<li>Plugins are classified based on their last update date:
<ul>
<li><strong>Safe</strong>: Updated within the risk threshold (default: 6 months)</li>
<li><strong>Risk</strong>: Updated between risk and abandoned thresholds (default: 6-12 months)</li>
<li><strong>Abandoned</strong>: Not updated within abandoned threshold (default: 12+ months)</li>
<li><strong>Unknown</strong>: Could not be resolved or API error occurred</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Privacy & Data:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All plugin data is fetched from public WordPress.org API</li>
<li>Webhook functionality is completely optional and disabled by default</li>
<li>If webhook is enabled, you can choose to redact plugin details and send only summary counts</li>
<li>No data is sent anywhere unless explicitly configured by the site administrator</li>
</ul>
