Version Info is a WordPress plugin that displays your site's WordPress, PHP, MySQL, and web server versions directly in the admin dashboard. It eliminates the need to dig through hidden menus or create insecure phpinfo() files to find your technical environment details.
Absolutely. The free version uses core WordPress functions and has near-zero impact on performance. The PRO version utilizes the native Heartbeat API and Transients API to cache all resource-heavy metrics. CPU/RAM data is cached for 60 seconds and database size for 12 hours.
Free includes admin footer, admin bar, and dashboard widget display. PRO (starting at $19/yr) adds real-time CPU/RAM monitoring, database tracking, environment indicators, version history, health advisor, and JSON export. Agency (starting at $49/yr) adds white-labeling, role-based visibility, email alerts, error log viewer, and multisite network dashboard.

Technical
PHP 8.1 or higher, WordPress 5.5 or higher, and MySQL 5.6 or higher. The plugin is tested up to WordPress 6.9.
It automatically detects WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE (WordPress core), Bedrock/Trellis (WP_ENV), and host-specific constants for Kinsta, WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, and local setups like LocalWP. If no constant is detected, it defaults to Production as a safety measure.
Yes! The free version works per-site. The Agency plan provides a dedicated Network Admin dashboard with a centralized overview of all sub-sites, including versions and database sizes for up to 100 sites.
CPU monitoring requires sys_getloadavg() to be available on your server (some shared hosts disable it). Also, check that no security or performance plugin is throttling the WordPress Heartbeat API, which is used for live data updates.
Yes. Version Info provides 5 action hooks and 12 filter hooks for developers to customize the output, add custom data, modify cache durations, and more. Full developer documentation is available at docs.versioninfoplugin.com.

White-labeling replaces the plugin name, author name, and all visible branding across the plugins list, admin footer, admin bar, dashboard widget, and settings page. You can also hide Freemius SDK branding. The plugin directory slug remains version-info for update compatibility.
Yes. Role-Based Visibility lets you control exactly which WordPress roles can see version information. Administrators always have access. You can restrict it from Editors, Authors, Contributors, and any custom roles.
When enabled, Version Info sends an email notification whenever a WordPress, PHP, or MySQL version change is detected. You configure which alert types to receive and can set multiple recipient emails. Delivery relies on your site's WordPress email configuration (SMTP plugin recommended).
Security
Yes. Version Info only displays data within the authenticated WordPress admin area. It never exposes version information on the public frontend of your site. Only logged-in users with the appropriate role can see the data.
All payments are processed securely through Freemius, a PCI-compliant payment platform trusted by thousands of WordPress plugin developers. Your payment data never touches our servers.
The error log viewer automatically masks sensitive file paths by replacing ABSPATH with [ABSPATH]. It requires the manage_options capability, and all download endpoints are protected with WordPress nonces. Only administrators can access the viewer.
