## Skildring

Your host is moving your site to a newer PHP version. Bumpcheck tells you which 
plugins and themes would stop working, before the switch.

Pick a PHP version from 8.0 to 8.6 and run the scan. Each plugin and theme gets 
one of three results:

 * **Breaks**: it calls something that the chosen PHP version removed or no longer
   ships. The page shows the file, the line and what to use instead.
 * **Works, uses deprecated code**: it runs, but PHP will log deprecation notices.
 * **Ready**: nothing found.

#### What makes it different

 * **It reads the files on your server.** Premium plugins, custom plugins and your
   own theme are checked like everything else.
 * **Nothing leaves your site.** No account, no outside service, no data sent.
 * **It covers PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6.**
 * **It does not time out.** The scan runs in short steps. In our test, 21,000 files
   took 13 seconds.
 * **It knows about old fallback code.** Many plugins keep a branch for ancient 
   PHP versions that never runs on your site. Those lines are listed apart and do
   not count against the plugin.

#### What it checks

Removed and deprecated functions, constants and INI settings. Array offsets with
curly braces. The `(unset)` and `(real)` casts. Constructors named after their class.`"
${var}"` in strings. Missing return types on `ArrayAccess`, `Iterator`, `Countable`
and `JsonSerializable` methods. `Serializable` without `__serialize()`. Parameters
that are nullable only through a null default. Required parameters after optional
ones. `get_class()` without an argument. A third argument to `define()`. Deprecated`
mb_convert_encoding()` encodings. Functions of the IMAP, pspell and OCI8 extensions,
which PHP 8.4 no longer ships.

#### What it cannot check

The scan reads code and does not run it. Problems that depend on values at run time
are out of reach, for example passing `null` to a function that needs a string, 
or properties created on the fly (deprecated in PHP 8.2). A clean result means nothing
known was found. Test on a staging copy before you switch a busy site.

#### Bumpcheck Pro

A separate add-on adds a weekly or daily scan with the result by email, CSV and 
JSON export, and a WP-CLI command. Details and price: [getbumpcheck.com](https://getbumpcheck.com/#pro).

## Vanlege spm.

### Does it change anything on my site?

No. It reads files and stores the result of the last scan. Deleting the plugin removes
that result.

### Does it check WordPress itself?

No. WordPress core supports the PHP versions listed on wordpress.org. Bumpcheck 
checks what you added: plugins, must-use plugins and themes.

### A plugin shows «already true on my PHP version». What does that mean?

The code uses something that was removed in a PHP version you already run. If that
code ran, it would fail today. It is almost always an old fallback branch, so it
does not count as a result of the upgrade.

### Is a «Ready» result a guarantee?

No. See «What it cannot check».

### A plugin breaks because PHP 8.4 no longer ships the IMAP extension. Is that certain?

PHP 8.4 moved the IMAP, pspell and OCI8 extensions out of PHP. A host can still 
install them separately. Bumpcheck cannot see what your host will install after 
the upgrade, so ask your host. If the extension stays available, that plugin keeps
working.
