Upaccn PHP Upgrade Risk Audit

Àpèjúwe

Upaccn PHP Upgrade Risk Audit helps you answer one practical question before changing PHP on a WordPress site: which installed plugin or theme could block this upgrade?

Choose a target PHP version, select the components you want to inspect, and run a local static-analysis scan. Results are grouped by plugin or theme and summarized as Ready, Review, or Blocked, with the relevant file, line, compatibility rule, and finding available for technical review.

Highlights

  • Scan installed plugins and themes against a selected PHP 8.x target.
  • Runs locally inside WordPress. Source code is not uploaded to an external scanning service.
  • Does not require exec(), shell_exec(), proc_open(), Composer, or command-line access on the host.
  • Read-only: the plugin never edits the code it scans.
  • Bounded AJAX batches reduce the risk of one long blocking web request.
  • Clear per-component Ready / Review / Blocked verdicts.
  • Technical findings include file, line, severity, rule, and message.
  • Bundled vendor-code findings are identified separately.
  • The checker excludes itself from scan targets to avoid self-referential findings from its bundled analysis engine.

Important limitation

Static analysis can identify known PHP compatibility patterns, but it cannot execute every runtime path and cannot guarantee that a site will work perfectly after an upgrade. Always validate the final PHP change on staging before changing production.

Privacy

Scanning and scan state stay on the WordPress installation. Upaccn PHP Upgrade Risk Audit does not upload plugin or theme source code and does not include telemetry in this version.

FAQ

Does this change my PHP version?

No. It only analyzes source code. Changing the server PHP version remains a hosting/server operation.

Does the scanner modify plugins or themes?

No. Scans are read-only.

Does it work when shell functions are disabled?

Yes. The release package includes the scanner runtime and runs it in-process. It does not require shell execution.

Can it scan premium or custom plugins?

Yes, as long as the code is installed on the WordPress site and readable by WordPress. The scan does not depend on a public compatibility database.

Why is Upaccn PHP Upgrade Risk Audit itself not in the component list?

The scanner deliberately excludes itself. Its bundled PHP_CodeSniffer/PHPCompatibility engine is an analysis dependency and can generate self-referential findings that do not help you assess the rest of the site.

Does a Ready result guarantee the PHP upgrade is safe?

No. A Ready result means the static scanner did not find a known blocking pattern in the selected source. You should still test the actual upgrade on staging.
