This plugin shows your current PHP version, its lifecycle security support days, and can send version data to the WPLifeCycle for proactive planning. 

== Description ==
WPLifeCycle gives WordPress admins a single dashboard to see **exactly** which PHP version a site is running, how long it will stay in active/security support, and what to fix before anything breaks.

**Key features**

* *PHP version badge* with active- and security-support countdowns  
* *Multi-site monitoring* — push data to your free WPLifeCycle cloud account  
* *SEO audit* – on-page checks and scoring (v 3.0+)  
* *OWASP-based security scan* (v 3.0+)  
* *Performance scan* (v 3.0+)  
* *Secure Admin Link* generator – creates a random, time-boxed /wp-admin URL (v 3.0+)  
* *Hooks scanner & tester* – lists add_action / add_filter calls, flags conflicts (v 3.1+)  
* *Plugins monitor* – tracks version for every active plugin (v 3.1+)
* *Admin user Log monitor* – tracks all admin visits (v 3.2+)
* Core, theme, and plugin updater – manage and trigger updates directly via WPLifeCycle (v3.3+)
* Improved API interface – faster and more reliable data sync between your site and WPLifeCycle.com (v3.3+)
* One-Click Auto Updates for WordPress Core, Plugins, and Themes (v 4.0+)
* Dashboard improvements and enhanced access control (v 4.0+)

Built for real-world workflows: minimal setup, async scans that respect server load, and .po/.mo files for quick translation.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via **Plugins → Add New**.  
2. Activate the plugin.  
3. (Optional) Go to **Settings → WPLifeCycle** to connect additional sites to your cloud dashboard.

== Usage ==
* Open **Tools → WPLifeCycle** to view PHP version details and run scans.  
* Click **Generate Secure Admin Link** to create a one-off login URL.  
* Use the **Send to API** toggle if you want this site monitored centrally.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
**Can I use it in my language?**  
Yes. Translate the included `.po` file with your preferred editor and drop the resulting `.mo` back into the plugin’s `languages` folder.
