Log WordPress core, theme, and plugin update history and display it on the Updates screen. A REST API endpoint is available for administrators.
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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Update History Panel version 1.1.2 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Update History Panel keeps an audit-friendly log of updates performed via the WordPress admin update workflows:
The log is shown as a panel on the Dashboard → Updates screen and can also be retrieved via the REST API:
GET /wp-json/update-history-panel/v1/logs
For security reasons, the endpoint requires an authenticated user with the update_core capability by default.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 6.9.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
