Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

When your WordPress site breaks, the first question is always the same: which plugin or theme did it? Culprit answers that.

Culprit catches PHP fatal errors and the White Screen of Death the moment they happen, identifies the plugin or theme that owns the failing code, and shows you a clear, readable incident: what broke, when, and how many times. If you choose to enable it, an optional early-boot watcher extends coverage to crashes that occur before plugins load — even when the crash happens so early that you can’t reach your admin.

This is the free core. It runs quietly, costs almost nothing, and never touches your site — it only observes.

What Culprit does (free)

  • Catches PHP fatal errors and white screens the moment they happen.
  • Optional early-boot watcher (explicit opt-in) that also catches crashes occurring before plugins load.
  • Identifies the plugin or theme responsible for the failing file.
  • Shows recent changes around the time of the crash for context.
  • Lists incidents with the culprit, time, and occurrence count.
  • Environment report — WordPress, PHP, database, server, theme, and plugin versions in one place, exportable as a support report.
  • Reports the watcher’s health, with a graceful fallback if your host restricts the mu-plugins directory.

com)

  • Correlation and confidence scoring — see what changed right before the crash.

  • Conflict history to surface chronic offenders.
  • Exportable conflict reports.

Elite
