Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/marcquito/mpwr-maintenance/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Ships its own WordPress updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.

Snapshot site state, create database backups, and publish formatted maintenance reports to Google Drive — all from a single WP Admin dashboard.

SSH into the site (or use a local terminal if developing locally) and run:

cd wp-content/plugins/proactive-maintenance
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

Activate the plugin in Plugins → Installed Plugins.
Go to Maintenance → Settings and complete the one-time Google Drive setup below.

Open Google Cloud Console and create or select a project.
Enable Google Drive API and Google Docs API (APIs & Services → Library).
Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts → Create Service Account.
- Download the JSON key file.
In your Google Drive, create a folder called Proactive Maintenance.
Share that folder with the service account email (e.g. pm-plugin@your-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com) — grant Editor access.
Open the folder in Drive and copy the folder ID from the URL: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/THIS-IS-THE-FOLDER-ID
In WP Admin under Maintenance → Settings:
- Enter the Client Name (becomes the subfolder name).
- Paste the Folder ID.
- Paste the full Service Account JSON contents.
- Click Save, then Test Google Drive Connection.

Each maintenance session, follow these four steps on the Dashboard:

Step	Action	Notes
1	Take Pre-Update Snapshot	Records plugin/core/PHP versions before changes
2	Run updates in WP Admin	Do this manually at your own pace
3	Create & Upload Backup	DB export (.sql.gz) → uploaded to Drive
4	Generate Report	Compares pre/post, creates Google Doc in Drive

Reports are saved to:

Proactive Maintenance / [Client Name] / YYYY-MM-DD Maintenance Report

Summary — site URL, date, snapshot times

PHP & Server — version, memory limit, execution time, etc.
Active Theme — version before/after

Site Health — PHP version warnings, debug mode flags, SSL status, file editor status, inactive plugins
