<p>UpdaWa gives you a single place to see everything that needs attention on a WordPress site: pending core, plugin, and theme updates plus the SSL certificate expiry — all visible in the admin panel and exposed through a secure REST API endpoint you can poll from any monitoring tool.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>REST API</strong> — <code>GET /wp-json/updawa/v1/status</code> returns a full JSON snapshot protected by a per-site Bearer token.</li>
<li><strong>Status dashboard</strong> — stat cards showing pending update counts, plugin/theme totals, and SSL days remaining at a glance.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress Core, SSL, Plugins & Themes</strong> — each section in its own card with colour-coded badges (up to date / update available / expiring / expired).</li>
<li><strong>SSL certificate monitoring</strong> — connects to your site’s HTTPS endpoint and reports the certificate expiry date and days remaining.</li>
<li><strong>Bearer token management</strong> — generate, copy, or revoke the 256-bit cryptographically random token from the Token API tab.</li>
<li><strong>QR code</strong> — encodes site name, API URL, and token for instant import into a mobile monitoring app.</li>
<li><strong>Android app</strong> <em>(coming soon)</em> — a dedicated mobile app for monitoring update and SSL status across multiple WordPress sites, with push notifications when updates are available or certificates are about to expire.</li>
<li><strong>JSON view</strong> — pretty-printed full API payload with a one-click Copy button.</li>
<li><strong>Zero external dependencies</strong> — the QR code library is bundled; no data is sent to external servers.</li>
</ul>
<h3>REST API</h3>
<p>The endpoint is read-only and requires a valid Bearer token:</p>
<pre><code>curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
     https://example.com/wp-json/updawa/v1/status
</code></pre>
<p>Example response:</p>
<pre><code>{
  "generated_at": "2026-04-14T09:10:41+00:00",
  "wordpress": {
    "current_version": "6.9.4",
    "update_available": false,
    "new_version": null,
    "package_url": null
  },
  "plugins": [ ... ],
  "themes":  [ ... ],
  "ssl_expires_at": "2026-07-05T01:48:00+00:00"
}
</code></pre>

<p>If plugin notifications and inline warnings are getting in your way, activate the WP Nag Hide Plugin and it will give you the option to hide the update notifications and plugin warnings in your admin panel. It ONLY hides the notices at the top of the admin pages, it does NOT hide the notices under a plugin on the plugins page.</p>
<p>Some notifications of course can be closed or dismissed for a period of time manually, and some can be useful to know. The WP Nag Hide plugin gives you the power to globally hide notifications or just individual plugins that are causing the nags!</p>
<p>A simple, lightweight plugin that even works on WP multisites.</p>
<p>Developed by: <a href="https://www.miltonkeyneswebdesign.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Milton Keynes Web Design</a></p>
<h4>How to use:</h4>
<p>Once activated in your Plugins menu, you will see a new menu called WP Nag Hide. Click this to change any of the plugins to hide/unhide notices for.</p>
<h4>Extra Information:</h4>
<p>PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ISSUES VIA THE WORDPRESS FORUMS</p>
