Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about RobArt Update Guard

It means the scanner did not find any known retirements or removals within the checks it supports. It cannot promise an update is safe, because a function can change what it does while keeping its name — the commonest cause of breakage, and something no code reader can detect. Treat a clean report as "no known retirements or removals," not "guaranteed safe."

Class methods are excluded on purpose. Many share everyday names, and distinguishing a retired one from an unrelated method needs runtime type information a static scan doesn't have. Flagging them would produce more noise than signal.

PHP 8.0 through 8.4. The report shows the highest version reached. The list is verified against the official PHP migration guides and travels with the plugin, so it works with no network access.

Yes. The "Include PHP compatibility checks" tick-box sits next to the scan button. It's on by default; unticking it runs a faster WordPress-only scan and the choice is remembered.

Nothing runs on the front end. Scans start only when you click the button, and results are cached for a day. Scanning can temporarily use server resources while it runs. The PHP checks parse every plugin file, so they add a few seconds to a scan — untick them for a quicker WordPress-only pass.

No. Update Guard only reads. It never edits a plugin — it points you to the file and line so you can decide.

No. It reads only the WordPress and plugin files already on your server. Nothing is sent to any external service and no AI is involved.
