README

WP Maintainer is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to give you a comprehensive overview of your WordPress core and plugin statuses via the WordPress REST API. Whether you manage a single site or multiple WordPress installations, WP Maintainer simplifies the process of monitoring and maintaining your site's health by providing critical version information at your fingertips.

Features

REST API Status Endpoint

WP Maintainer introduces a dedicated REST endpoint that allows you to quickly check the status of your WordPress installation:

/wp-json/wp/v2/status

By accessing this endpoint, you can retrieve detailed information about the versions of your WordPress core and installed plugins. This data helps you ensure that your site is up-to-date and secure. The response includes:

• ID: The unique identifier for the WordPress core or plugin.
• Slug: The slug used to identify the plugin in the WordPress repository.
• Latest Version: The most recent version available.
• Current Version: The version currently installed on your site.
• Last Checked: The timestamp of the last check performed.

Here is an example response from the endpoint:

{
    "id": "wp-core",
    "slug": "wordpress",
    "latest": "6.5.3",
    "current": "6.5.3",
    "lastchecked": 1715933826
},
{
    "id": "w.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg",
    "slug": "disable-gutenberg",
    "latest": "3.1.1",
    "current": "2.9",
    "lastchecked": 1715933831
},
{
    "id": "w.org/plugins/loginizer",
