Plugin Security Certification (PSC-2025-64587): “PHP Compatibility Cheker” – Version 1.6.3: Use Automatic Update WP with Enhanced Security

PHP Compatibility Checker is a WordPress plugin developed by WP Engine that helps site administrators and developers analyze their WordPress themes and plugins for compatibility with modern PHP versions.

This plugin empowers users to safely transition to newer PHP versions (up to PHP 8.0) by identifying errors and warnings in their installed codebase.

The tool uses linting technology combined with Tide’s scanning infrastructure to analyze plugin and theme files. It generates detailed reports with file names, line numbers, and descriptions of incompatibilities. Additionally, it recommends plugin or theme updates if newer versions include PHP compatibility fixes.

String Locator is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to help developers, administrators, and site managers quickly find and edit text strings within themes, plugins, and even WordPress core files. This tool eliminates the guesswork of locating hardcoded text by providing precise search results, including file paths, matching lines, and contextual previews.

The plugin also features in-browser editing, allowing you to make changes directly from the search results. Before saving, it runs a built-in consistency check that scans for unbalanced braces, brackets, and parentheses, reducing the risk of syntax errors and broken functionality. While not a substitute for full testing, this safeguard significantly minimizes common editing mistakes.

For maximum safety, it’s recommended to work on a staging site before deploying changes to production.
