Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Brachmelder

To check your plugins, Brachmelder has to send their slugs to WordPress.org. It only does that after you have agreed. Until then, only the PHP check is available, which runs on your server.

Click "Disable check" on Tools > Brachmelder. Brachmelder then no longer contacts WordPress.org, removes the daily check and deletes the stored results.

No. The check runs in the background, at most once a day, in small batches. Visitors of your website are not affected.

WordPress.org removes plugins from its directory if they have a security issue, violate the guidelines or if the developer asks for it. A closed plugin cannot be downloaded any more and you will not receive updates for it. If it was closed because of a security issue, replace it as soon as possible.

No. Brachmelder can only check plugins that are listed on WordPress.org. Make sure you receive updates for premium plugins from their vendor, for example with a valid licence. A plugin is shown as closed, but I bought it from a vendor. Rarely, a premium plugin uses the same folder name as a plugin on WordPress.org. Ask the vendor to add an "Update URI" header to their plugin; Brachmelder will then skip it.

Brachmelder keeps the previous results, shows a short note and tries again with the next scheduled check.

No. Brachmelder only informs you. You decide what to do.

Brachmelder ships with a table of the official end dates of PHP security support (php.net). It is updated with new releases of Brachmelder.
