With around 60 thousand free plugins and over 20 thousand themes, WordPress is one of the most flexible content management systems in the world. But there is a downside to the wide selection: incompatible plugins can cause websites to crash or slow down. Here comes our latest development: WordPress Compatibility Checker.
Available to all managed WordPress hosting customers, this tool is a valuable ally for website owners and developers alike. Identifies and addresses compatibility issues between PHP and WordPress versions, plugins, and themes.
This means you’ll always know that everything on your site is running smoothly and your visitors are having the best possible experience.
Continuous monitoring of your WordPress environment
WordPress software is constantly updated to fix bugs, vulnerabilities, improve performance or add new features. However, a new version of PHP, WordPress core, theme or plugin may not be compatible with other software you use.
Also, some add-ons may interfere with each other. A common problem is using multiple plugins or themes simultaneously that serve the same purpose, leading to a conflict.
If you do not detect compatibility problems in time, your sites can slow down or, even worse, crash. This is where the WordPress Compatibility Checker comes into play.
See what it checks automatically:
- PHP and WordPress compatibility. The tool ensures that the PHP version of your website is compatible with the WordPress version and vice versa.
- Plugins and themes. Compatibility Checker identifies and flags plugins and themes that may conflict. Additionally, the checker will alert you if you try to enable a plugin from hPanel that might cause conflicts.
- Preinstall compatibility. Our tool performs pre-installation compatibility checks to ensure that hPanel’s recommended plugins meet WordPress and PHP version requirements and won’t disrupt your site’s functionality.
Once the Compatibility Checker detects a problem, it will notify you via hPanel. You’ll also get suggestions to fix it quickly.
