The Enhanced Plugin Admin plugin aims to save you time and warn you about potential compatibility and security problems for installed plugins right from the plugin admin screen. Information includes:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. last update date<\/li>\n
  2. overall rating<\/li>\n
  3. number of votes<\/li>\n
  4. WordPress version compatibility range<\/li>\n
  5. WordPress plugin repository status i.e. in repository, removed from repository, never in repository<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    You can also hide (disable) individual plugin update notifications for when you don't want to upgrade. These can be unhidden (re-enabled) at any time.<\/p>\n\n

    Planned Features<\/h4>\n\n

    These are features I've been considering. Let me know if they're of interest or if you have other ideas.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Schedule checks so that information is up to date without having to wait for plugin admin page to refresh.<\/li>\n
    2. Email notifications when thresholds are first exceeded or when vulnerability discovered.<\/li>\n
    3. Keep track of when a plugin was originally and most recently activated \/ deactivated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the enhanced-plugin-admin folder to the '\/wp-content\/plugins\/' directory<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
      3. Navigate to your site's plugins page<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Can I set thresholds?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Check the settings page<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I get information about commercial plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Unfortunately, commercial plugins house their information an their own sites and don't provide this information in a consistent manner.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        I have an idea for an enhancement?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Feel free to suggest ideas on the support page.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
