The central history server work introduced four PHP 8.0+ syntax sites in the plugin codebase. The main plugin file's "Requires PHP: 7.4" header was already there; the code had silently drifted past that bound. - includes/class-att-hc-session.php:244 — str_starts_with($host, 'www.') → substr($host, 0, 4) === 'www.'. - includes/class-att-hc-api.php:52 — self::request(…, requires_auth: false) → positional false. Same default semantics, same callee signature. - includes/admin-page.php:165 and class-att-hc-session.php:126 — list_healthchecks(…, include_steps: …, limit: …) → positional. Same values, no semantic change. Verified by linting all 16 plugin files against PHP 7.4.33 — no syntax errors, no residual PHP 8+ patterns (str_starts_with/contains/ends_with, nullsafe, enum, readonly, mixed/never, constructor promotion, match).

Site Healthcheck
Internal WordPress plugin that walks a technician through a structured healthcheck. Companion to wp-site-recovery, which it expects to be installed as step 0.
Install
ln -s ~/dev/wp-healthcheck /path/to/wp/wp-content/plugins/att-site-healthcheck
Then activate from Plugins. Settings appear under Tools → Site Healthcheck.
Use
- Open Tools → Site Healthcheck.
- Confirm the recovery plugin status panel shows ✓ active.
- Click Start new healthcheck.
- Work through each step card. For each: choose a status (done / skipped / blocked / n/a) and add notes.
- Click Finish & generate report.
- Download the Markdown report or copy it to clipboard.
One in-progress session per site at a time. Reports are not stored in the database (the plugin is meant to be uninstalled at the end of each engagement) — download them.
Adding, removing, reordering steps
Each step is a single file under includes/steps/ named <order>-<slug>.php.
<?php
// includes/steps/45-staging.php
return new class extends ATT_HC_Step {
public function id(): string { return 'staging'; }
public function title(): string { return 'Step 4.5 — Verify Staging Sync'; }
public function sub_items(): array {
return ['Re-deploy from production', 'Run smoke tests'];
}
};
- Add: drop a new file.
- Remove: delete the file.
- Reorder: rename the numeric prefix (steps are loaded in
natsortorder). - Conditionally drop on one install: use the
att_hc_stepsfilter tounsetthe step by id.
Stable string IDs (returned by id()) are what's stored in session data, so renaming a file does not break in-progress sessions as long as the id stays the same.
Phase roadmap
Phase 1 (this) is a checklist + Markdown report. Phase 3 will add per-step automation — backup detection, env auto-collect, plugin update intelligence, PageSpeed Insights, SSL checks, etc. See beads epic hc-5ix for the full plan.
Distribution
Internal/agency tool — not a WP.org plugin (decision hc-5ix.26). Distributed as a built ZIP. A self-hosted update channel is hc-5ix.27 on the phase-3 backlog.
