Modules Insight<\/strong> is a simple WordPress plugin that lists all installed plugins, showing which are active<\/strong> and which are inactive<\/strong>. Ideal for developers and site managers needing a quick status overview.<\/p>\n\n

MI adds a widget to your Dashboard<\/strong> and provides a shortcode [plugin_list]<\/code> for displaying the plugin status list. It also allows Administrators<\/strong> to download the list as a .json<\/code> report directly from the widget or shortcode output.<\/p>\n\n

MI is completely read-only and does not<\/strong> make any changes to your site's plugin activation status.<\/p>\n\n

        Credits<\/h3>\n\n

        Made with \u2764\ufe0f by Pedro Matias for WordPress developers and admins.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Upload the modules-insight<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugin screen directly (Plugins > Add New).<\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin through the \u2018Plugins\u2019 menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
        3. Check your Dashboard<\/strong> for the \"Modules Insight - Plugin List\" widget.<\/li>\n
        4. Alternatively, use the shortcode [plugin_list]<\/code> on any page or post to display the list.<\/li>\n
        5. Administrators will see a \"Download List as JSON\" button within the widget\/shortcode output.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Does this plugin make any changes to my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. MI is read-only. It does not activate, deactivate, install, or delete any plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Who can see the plugin list and download the JSON file?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          By default, the list and download button are visible only to users with the activate_plugins<\/code> capability (typically Administrators). You can adjust capability checks in the code if needed for other roles, but be mindful of security implications.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          What format is the export file?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          The plugin exports data as a .json<\/code> file, timestamped with the date of export (according to your site's timezone).<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I use this on a live\/production site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes! MI is completely safe to use on live sites as it performs no write operations.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

          2.1.2<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Fix: Use current_time()<\/code> instead of date()<\/code> for JSON filename timestamp to respect WordPress timezone settings (Fixes PHPCS error).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            • Fix: Ensure <details><\/code> and <summary><\/code> tags are allowed in wp_kses<\/code> for the dashboard widget.<\/li>\n
            • Refine: Improve multisite plugin detection slightly.<\/li>\n
            • Refine: Use case-insensitive sorting for plugin lists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              2.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Refactor: Introduce helper function get_plugin_insight_data()<\/code> to centralize data retrieval.<\/li>\n
              • Security: Regenerate plugin data on download instead of passing via POST.<\/li>\n
              • Security: Add capability checks (activate_plugins<\/code>) for viewing list and downloading JSON.<\/li>\n
              • Security: Remove nopriv<\/code> action hook for downloads.<\/li>\n

              • Improvement: Make widget title translatable.<\/li>\n
              • Fix: Address various Plugin Check escaping errors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
