## Description

**Diagnostic Glance** provides a comprehensive overview of your WordPress installation’s
key technical details in an easy-to-copy format, perfect for sharing when seeking
help on WordPress support forums.

When WordPress challenges arise that are beyond your current expertise, getting 
help from the community becomes essential. Support volunteers can better diagnose
your issues when they can quickly review your site’s configuration, hosting environment,
and basic statistics.

This plugin creates a dashboard widget that consolidates all essential diagnostic
information in one convenient location, with a simple one-click copy feature to 
share the details wherever you need help.

### Key Features

 * **One-Click Copy** – Modern clipboard functionality with fallback support for
   all browsers
 * **Comprehensive Information** – WordPress version, themes, plugins, server config,
   and more
 * **Configurable Sections** – Show or hide specific diagnostic sections as needed
 * **Shortcode Support** – Create a dedicated diagnostic page with `[diagnostic_glance]`
 * **Mobile Responsive** – Works perfectly on all device sizes
 * **Accessibility Ready** – Full keyboard navigation and screen reader support
 * **Translation Ready** – Complete internationalization support
 * **Privacy Focused** – No external connections, all data stays on your server

### Information Collected

 * **WordPress Version** and configuration settings
 * **Themes** – All installed themes with version numbers and active theme indicator
 * **Plugins** – All installed plugins with version numbers and activation status

   settings
 * **PHP Extensions** – All loaded PHP modules and extensions
 * **Apache/Nginx Modules** – Web server modules (when available)

   totals

### Why Use Diagnostic Glance?

When seeking help on WordPress forums, support volunteers often need to know:
 –
What version of WordPress you’re running – Which plugins and themes are active –
Your server configuration – Any debug settings or memory limits

Instead of manually gathering this information, Diagnostic Glance compiles everything
automatically in a format that’s easy to read and share.

### Shortcode Usage

Create a dedicated diagnostic page using the shortcode:

 * `[diagnostic_glance]` – Display using current widget settings
 * `[diagnostic_glance sections="themes,plugins"]` – Show specific sections only
 * `[diagnostic_glance cache="false"]` – Disable caching for real-time data
 * `[diagnostic_glance show_footer="false"]` – Hide plugin attribution

Available sections: `themes`, `plugins`, `wordpress`, `server`, `php`, `apache`,`
stats`

diagnostic information – Creating a private diagnostic page for troubleshooting

### The copy button isn’t working in my browser

The plugin uses modern clipboard functionality with fallbacks:
 – Modern browsers:
Uses the Clipboard API for one-click copying – Older browsers: Falls back to text
selection (you’ll need to press Ctrl+C/Cmd+C) – All browsers: You can manually select
the text in the diagnostic area

Yes! Use the sections attribute:
 [diagnostic_glance sections=”themes,plugins,wordpress”]

Available sections: themes, plugins, wordpress, server, php, apache, stats

### How often is the diagnostic information updated?

The information is generated in real-time when you view it, with optional caching
for performance. Set `cache="false"` in the shortcode for always-fresh data.

### Does this plugin slow down my website?

No, Diagnostic Glance only runs when dashboard or shortcodes are displayed. It has
no impact on your site’s frontend performance for visitors.

### 󠀁[No longer compatible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-compatible/)󠁿

 [Arneby](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arneby/) 18 November 2019

Does not work with WP 5.3. Does enqueueing the wrong way compared to current WP 
practice. From log: Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and
styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts,
or login_enqueue_scripts hooks.

### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-2738/)󠁿

 [D](https://profiles.wordpress.org/idylanrobertson/) 3 September 2016

I wish I’d found this sooner! Does exactly as described and worked perfectly. Thank
you very much for this plugin. I’m sorry to see the low number of installs and no
other reviews yet. Please don’t get discouraged – I’m sure if people knew about 
this plugin, they’d find it super useful. Surely all the lost souls in the support
forums would be able to better communicate with WP gurus if they’d use this plugin!
Please continue to maintain and update this plugin!
