#### Features

   months

 * Critical: not updated in over 2 years

**Closed Plugin Detection**

 * Detects closed/removed plugins from wordpress.org
 * Shows closure reason, date, and full explanation

**Dashboard Widget**

see which plugins are closed or outdated, helping you prioritize what needs attention.

### Privacy Policy

Herald data locally in your WordPress database * Does not track users or send data
to external services

## Инсталиране

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/fae-herald/`, or install through
    the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin – background checks will start automatically and information
    will appear on your Plugins page.

## ЧЗВ

### Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. Checks run in the background weekly via WordPress cron with 20-second intervals.
Data displays from your database with minimal impact.

### Can I manually trigger a status update?

Yes! Click „Refresh Status“ on any plugin row for an immediate check, even if automatic
checks are disabled.

### Does it work with plugins not on wordpress.org?

No. Only plugins hosted on wordpress.org are monitored; others are automatically
skipped.

### Can I ignore specific plugins from being checked?

Yes! To ignore specific plugins (like WPML that may show false warnings), copy `
assets/ignored-plugins.json` to `wp-content/themes/your-theme/fae-herald/ignored-
plugins.json` and add the plugin slug with a reason. Ignored plugins display a gray
notice.

### What do the different warnings mean?

 * **Blue Normal**: Latest version released within the past 6 months shows exact
   date, after 6 months to 12 months shows „X months ago“
 * **Orange Warning**: Plugin not updated in over 1 year
 * **Red Critical**: Plugin not updated in over 2 years or has been closed
 * **Gray Notice**: Not so important information (e.g., non-wordpress.org plugins)

### How long does the initial scan take?

With a 20-second interval between checks, a site with 20 plugins will complete in
approximately 6-7 minutes. You can leave the page and continue working while checks
run in the background.

**Note:** Timing may vary depending on your cron setup. WP-Cron (default) is triggered
by site visits, while server-side cron runs on a schedule.

### Can I configure advanced settings via wp-config.php?

Yes! Add these constants to wp-config.php:

 * define( ‘FAE_HERALD_CRON_INTERVAL’, 604800 ) – Check frequency in seconds (default:
   604800 = 1 week)
 * define( ‘FAE_HERALD_CRON_SPACING_DELAY’, 60 ) – Delay between plugin checks in
   seconds (default: 60)
 * define( ‘FAE_HERALD_DISABLE_AUTOMATIC_CRON’, true ) – Set to true to disable 
   automatic checks
 * define( ‘FAE_HERALD_DELETE_DATA_ON_DEACTIVATE’, true ) – Set to true to delete
   all data on deactivation
