Readme

=== SPP Ready Repo === Tags: plugin development, security, code review, wordpress.org, plugin scanner Requires at least: 6.4 Tested up to: 7.0 Requires PHP: 7.4 Stable tag: 1.5.1 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Audit WordPress plugins for repository readiness, security, performance, compatibility, dependencies, packaging, and release regressions.

== Description ==

SPP Ready Repo gives plugin developers a clear, local-first pre-release review inside WordPress.

It can scan an installed plugin or inspect a release ZIP without installing it. Findings are grouped by severity and category, written in straightforward language, and paired with source context and a suggested next step.

Key features include:

  • Installed plugin and release ZIP scans.
  • Quick scans for release blockers and full scans for deeper review.
  • WordPress.org readiness checks for headers, readme metadata, licensing signals, naming, packaging, and release consistency.
  • Security checks for request data, SQL usage, REST permissions, AJAX nonce patterns, dangerous execution, redirects, file writes, and possible secrets.
  • Performance checks for potentially unbounded queries, blocking waits, rewrite flushing, remote requests, and other expensive patterns.
  • PHP compatibility checks based on the plugin's declared minimum PHP version.
  • Internationalization and text-domain consistency checks.
  • Composer and npm dependency summaries plus release-package checks.
  • Scan history with score changes and regression comparison.
  • Developer decisions: open, fixed, ignored, false positive, and accepted risk.
  • Intentional exceptions such as ignored findings, false positives, and accepted risks are remembered on later scans using stable finding fingerprints.
  • HTML, JSON, and CSV report exports.
  • Local-first operation. Scanned source code is not sent to an external service.

SPP Ready Repo is an automated development aid. Passing a scan does not guarantee acceptance into the WordPress.org Plugin Directory. WordPress.org performs its own automated and human review.

== Installation ==

  1. Upload the spp-ready-repo folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New.
  2. Activate SPP Ready Repo.
  3. Open SPP Ready Repo in the WordPress admin menu.
  4. Select an installed plugin or upload a release ZIP.
  5. Run a Quick Scan or Full Scan and review the findings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does SPP Ready Repo modify the plugin it scans? =

No. Installed plugin scans are read-only. ZIP scans unpack the archive to a temporary directory for analysis and remove the temporary files after the scan.

= Is plugin source code sent to another server? =

No. The scanner is local-first and does not require an external API or account.

= Does a 100/100 score guarantee WordPress.org approval? =

No. Automated analysis cannot replace the WordPress.org review process. The score is guidance that helps developers prioritize issues before submission.

= What database tables are created? =

The plugin uses the site's WordPress database prefix followed by spp_. On a default installation the tables are wp_spp_scans, wp_spp_findings, and wp_spp_decisions.

= Can I mark a warning as a false positive? =

Yes. Open a finding and save a developer decision. The decision is remembered when the same fingerprint is detected on future scans of that plugin.
