PLU Redux

PLU Redux displays the “Last Updated” date and “Tested up to” version for all of your installed plugins. If a plugin hasn’t been updated in over two years – or hasn’t been tested with a recent WordPress version – you’ll get a warning emoji next to the relevant field.

Version 3.0 adds full support for plugins managed by Git Updater. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and Gist are all supported.

Usage

Once activated, head over to your Plugins screen. You’ll see “Last Updated” and “Tested up to” info in the metadata row for each plugin. Warning emojis appear when a plugin hasn’t been updated in over two years or its “Tested up to” version is significantly behind your current WordPress version.

For the Site Health checks, navigate to Tools → Site Health in your WordPress dashboard.

Git Updater Support

PLU Redux automatically detects plugins using Git Updater headers and queries the appropriate hosting API for last updated info.

Supported platforms:

• GitHub (GitHub Plugin URI) – checks releases first, falls back to last commit
• GitLab (GitLab Plugin URI) – uses last_activity_at
• Bitbucket (Bitbucket Plugin URI) – uses updated_on
• Gitea (Gitea Plugin URI) – self-hosted; requires a full URL in the header
• Gist (Gist Plugin URI) – uses gist updated_at

PLU Redux also respects the Primary Branch header. When there’s no release, it falls back to the last commit on the specified branch.

Note: “Tested up to” is only available for WordPress.org plugins. Git-hosted plugins will only show “Last updated.”

Site Health Check

PLU Redux adds two checks to Tools → Site Health:

• Outdated plugins – Lists any plugins not updated in 2+ years (critical status).
• Untested plugins – Lists plugins not tested with a recent WordPress version (recommended status).

WP-CLI Command

PLU Redux includes a WP-CLI command: wp plu list

This outputs a table of your installed plugins with their last updated dates and tested versions. Plugins needing attention are flagged with an arrow (<-). A - in the “Tested Up To” column means the plugin isn’t in the WordPress.org directory.
