Detect plugin and theme conflicts before they break your site. Snapshot, scan, and roll back with one click.

 

== Description ==

 

ConflictGuard scans your active plugins and theme for the kinds of silent conflicts that usually only show up after something is already broken — duplicate script handles, overcrowded critical hooks, and known incompatible plugin pairings.

 

Before you activate a new plugin, ConflictGuard automatically takes a snapshot of your site's active plugins, theme, and key options. If the new plugin causes a problem, you can roll back to that exact state in one click — no manual list-rebuilding, no guessing what changed.

 

**Core features**

 

* **Conflict Matrix Scanner** — checks active plugins against a curated list of known incompatibilities, flags duplicate JavaScript/CSS handle registrations, and detects overcrowded critical hooks (`init`, `wp_loaded`, `template_redirect`) that can cause unpredictable execution order.

* **Automatic Staging Snapshots** — a snapshot is captured automatically right before any plugin activation, plus you can trigger a manual snapshot any time.

* **One-Click Rollback** — restore active plugins, active theme, and key options from any saved snapshot.

* **Visual Regression Diff** — capture a structural baseline of a page and compare it after changes to catch layout-breaking conflicts before visitors do.

* **Conflict Log** — a running history of every issue found, with severity ratings (high / medium / low) so you know what to fix first.

 

ConflictGuard is completely free, with no pricing tiers and no feature gating. If it saves you a broken site, there's an optional Donate Now button in the dashboard — entirely optional, never required.

 

This plugin is built and maintained by an independent developer. Feature requests and bug reports are welcome on the support forum.

 

== Installation ==

 

1. Upload the `conflictguard` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install directly through the **Plugins → Add New** screen in WordPress.

2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.

3. Go to **ConflictGuard** in your admin sidebar to run your first scan.

 

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

 

= Does ConflictGuard fix conflicts automatically? =

 

No. ConflictGuard detects and reports conflicts so you can make an informed decision — deactivating a plugin or rolling back is always your choice, never automatic.

 

= Will rollback delete any content (posts, pages, media)? =

 

No. Rollback only restores the active plugins list, active theme, and a small set of related options. It does not touch your posts, pages, media, or database content outside those options.

 

= Does this plugin send any data off my site? =

 

No. All scanning, logging, and snapshotting happens locally in your WordPress database. ConflictGuard does not phone home or transmit site data externally.

 

= Is there a premium version? =

 

No. ConflictGuard has no pricing plans or locked features. Development is supported entirely through optional donations.

 

= What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin? =

 

Deactivating clears only temporary scan caches and leaves your logs and snapshots intact. Deleting the plugin (via the uninstall routine) removes its database tables and options entirely.
