Alert When PHP Files Appear in the Uploads Folder
Scans the uploads folder once a day for PHP files, which never belong there and usually mean a backdoor, and emails the administrator and shows a dashboard warning when new ones show up.
Alert When wp-config.php, .htaccess or Root Files Change
Checks your site's root folder once a day and emails the administrator when wp-config.php, .htaccess, .user.ini or php.ini change, or when new PHP files appear next to WordPress's own files.
Anonymize Comment IP Addresses After 60 Days
Once a day, shortens the stored IP address of approved comments older than 60 days, so you keep recent IPs for spam handling without holding personal data forever.
Assign a Language to Posts Created by Importers and Code
Gives posts created outside the editor, for example by importers, cron jobs, forms or the REST API, the default Polylang language when they have none, so they do not vanish from language-filtered lists.
Automatically Expire Listings After Their Closing Date
Adds an "Expired" status and an hourly check that moves job listings (or any post type) out of public view once their closing date has passed.
Daily Core File Integrity Check
Compares your WordPress core files with the official checksums once a day and emails the administrator if any file was changed or is missing.
Daily Plugin and Theme File Change Monitor
Fingerprints every PHP file in your plugins and themes once a day and emails the administrator a list of files that were added, changed or removed outside of normal updates.
Delete Old Contact Form 7 Messages Stored in Flamingo
Permanently deletes contact form messages saved by the Flamingo add-on once they are older than 180 days, so old enquiries and their personal data are not kept forever.
Email Alert When WP-Cron Stops Running
Warns the admin by email when scheduled tasks are more than an hour overdue, so you notice before scheduled posts, digests and backups silently stop.
Find and Remove Orphaned Cron Events
Adds Tools > Orphaned Cron Events, listing scheduled tasks that no active plugin or theme handles any more (often left by uninstalled plugins) and removing them after you confirm.
Follow-Up Email a Few Days After Sign-Up
Sends new users a second, friendly email a few days after they register, with tips or links to get started, scheduled automatically with WP-Cron.
Log Scheduled Tasks That Take Too Long
Measures how long each scheduled task (cron event) takes to run and records the slow ones under Tools > Slow Cron Tasks, so you can spot the plugin that makes WP-Cron sluggish.
Move Posts in a Category Back to Draft After a Number of Days
Automatically unpublishes posts in a chosen category, such as Jobs, Offers or Events, once they are older than a set number of days, so stale listings disappear on their own.
Pause WP-Cron Outside Production
Stops scheduled tasks from running on local, development and staging copies of the site, so a cloned database does not send newsletters, sync orders or run backups twice.
Protect wp-cron.php From Outside Requests
Requires a secret key for requests to wp-cron.php and adds that key automatically to WordPress's own cron calls, so outsiders cannot hammer the endpoint to slow your site down.
Publish Posts That Missed Their Schedule
Checks every few minutes for scheduled posts stuck with a "Missed schedule" label and publishes them, a common problem on low-traffic sites.
Remove Completed Privacy Requests After 90 Days
Deletes finished export and erasure requests (and failed ones) from Tools > Export/Erase Personal Data once they are 90 days old, since the request records themselves contain email addresses.
Remove Expired Login Sessions From the Database
Once a day, removes expired login sessions that WordPress keeps in user meta until the user logs in again, which on membership sites and shops adds up to a lot of dead data.
Retry Emails That Failed to Send
Keeps emails that fail because of a temporary mail server problem and tries to send them again up to three times over the following half hour.
Run WP-Cron From a Real Cron Job
Stops WordPress from checking for scheduled tasks on every page view; you trigger wp-cron.php from your server's cron instead, which is faster and more reliable.
Run a Daily Task With WP-Cron
Schedules a custom task once a day and gives you a function to fill in, for example to clean up data or send a report. Includes the scheduling and the hook.
Run a Task Later Helper Function
Adds a wpide_run_later() helper that schedules any hook to run once after a delay, without creating duplicates, so slow work like sending a report or calling an API can leave the page request.
Scheduled Cron Events Viewer
Adds a Tools > Cron Events screen listing every scheduled WP-Cron event with its next run time, recurrence and hook name, to debug missed or duplicate tasks.
