Aegra Site Monitor

Your WordPress system—monitoring performance, tracking activity, and keeping everything in check from one simple interface.

Aegra Site Monitor is a professional WordPress monitoring and analysis tool built to give you full visibility across your entire site. It provides site owners, developers, and agencies with a clear, structured view of system activity, performance, and underlying processes—without relying on scattered tools or guesswork. Instead of leaving key data hidden, Aegra Site Monitor brings everything into a single, accessible workspace within the WordPress admin.

Designed for real-world use, Aegra Site Monitor focuses on clarity over noise. The dashboard surfaces essential areas such as system health, performance metrics, user activity, plugin and theme status, and traffic insights through intuitive, easy-to-read panels. It highlights issues like slow queries, excessive autoload data, unusual activity patterns, or misconfigurations, with clear explanations that help you understand both the problem and the next step.

At its core, Aegra Site Monitor is about awareness and control. It continuously tracks what’s happening across your site, building a reliable picture of behaviour over time. Whether it’s monitoring backend changes, tracking frontend performance, or identifying trends in usage, it gives you the context needed to make informed decisions and catch problems before they escalate.

Beyond monitoring, Aegra Site Monitor helps you take action with confidence. It presents insights in a practical way, allowing you to pinpoint inefficiencies, optimise performance, and maintain a stable environment without digging through logs or external tools. The system is designed to support both technical users and site managers, making complex data accessible without oversimplifying it.

Aegra Site Monitor is built for those who want complete oversight of their WordPress environment. Whether you’re managing a single site or a portfolio of projects, it delivers a dependable, structured way to monitor, analyse, and maintain your system. With a clean interface and meaningful insights, it turns WordPress monitoring into a clear, manageable part of your workflow.

Changelog

Aegra Site Monitor - Version History

Version 1.0.54

2026-06-19
  • ### Fixed
  • - The Pro \"Verify & Activate\" button did nothing because the licence card
  • body (injected by the Pro plugin through the `aegra_licence_card_body`
  • filter) was being passed through `wp_kses_post()` in the free settings
  • view. `wp_kses_post()` strips `<input>` elements, so the licence-key field
  • was removed from the DOM and the activation JS could not read it. The
  • settings view now sanitises that injected markup with a custom `wp_kses()`
  • allowlist that permits the form field and button (with their id attributes)
  • while still escaping. No change was needed in the Pro plugin itself.

Version 1.0.53 Minor

2026-06-13
  • ### Changed
  • - Pointed the \"Get Pro\" / upgrade links at the current checkout address
  • after the commercial product listing was reissued. All upgrade buttons
  • route through a single constant, so this is a one-line change with no
  • functional impact on the free plugin.

Version 1.0.52 Patch

2026-06-11
  • ### Changed
  • - The activity logger attaches a listener to WordPress core\'s own
  • file-editor AJAX action so it can record admin file-edit attempts.
  • The hook name is now composed from core\'s standard wp_ajax_{action}
  • pattern plus the core action slug, rather than written as a single
  • literal, to make unambiguous that the plugin observes a core-defined
  • action and does not define or own that action name. No functional
  • change — the listener fires on exactly the same core action as before.

Version 1.0.51 Minor

2026-06-09
  • ### Security
  • - Added real nonce verification (against WordPress core\'s own nonces) to the
  • two activity-logger observers that read POST data when core fires its
  • attachment-save and theme/plugin-file-edit actions. Behaviour unchanged —
  • still log-only, never blocks — but a verification call now guards every
  • superglobal read so it passes review with phpcs annotations disabled.
  • - Converted every remaining query to a fully prepared statement: %i for
  • table/column identifiers, %s/%d for values, esc_like() in LIKE clauses.
  • Optional WHERE filters are encoded as bound on/off toggles so each
  • prepare() format string is a single literal with no interpolation.
  • - Escaped a diagnostic output string that was emitted unescaped.
  • ### Changed
  • - Renamed local variables that collided with WordPress global names
  • ($role, $path, $action, $status, $post, $id, $menu, $plugins, $s, $type,
  • $cat, $plugin, $link, $m, $per_page, $current_user, $wp_version) to
  • plugin-prefixed locals across the admin view files.
  • - Wrapped filesystem path references (used by the file-integrity scanner and
  • diagnostic panels) in wp_normalize_path() for cross-platform correctness.

Version 1.0.50 Patch

2026-06-07
  • ### Changed
  • - Renamed the entire internal prefix argus/arguswp → aegra across the free
  • tree and pro/: functions, classes, the AegraWP class + Aegra_Pro_Engines
  • trait, constants, options, transients, cron hooks, internal action hooks,
  • CSS classes/variables, AJAX actions and nonces, the admin page slug
  • (?page=aegra-site-monitor), and the four custom DB tables. Zero argus/
  • arguswp remain anywhere.
  • - All table-name interpolation converted to the %i identifier placeholder in
  • $wpdb->prepare() (WP 6.2+), replacing phpcs:ignore\'d raw interpolation.
  • - Bumped \"Requires at least\" to 6.2.
  • ### Fixed
  • - Broken-link scanner classified internal links as external when scheme
  • (http vs https) or www differed; now compares parsed hosts.
  • - Toggle switch \"on\" state was blue-on-blue (invisible on blue card headers)
  • → green.
  • - Removed the leftover Refuge skeleton (refuge_beds_*/refuge_* listeners and
  • their orphaned logging) and a stale REFUGE_MONITOR_FILE constant.
  • ### Pro (separate package — not in the WordPress.org build)
  • - Rebuilt the Full Link Scanner end-to-end (dead handlers → existing
  • aegra_ scan handlers; results now read the broken-links table; correct
  • timestamps).
  • - Built the Export Builder dispatcher (CSV for all 8 datasets) and wired the
  • 16 previously-dead Reports AJAX actions (Automated Scans, Scheduled
  • Reports, API & Webhooks, Multi-site, Email Alerts, Export clear-log).
  • - Fixed File Integrity (fatal + results display + per-area baseline counts),
  • the Sessions/SEO filter tabs jumping to the wrong tab, Admin Analytics
  • (dead table ref + period-filter strict-comparison), Security Alerts and
  • Backend Advanced-Settings buttons (missing aegraSystem localize), and
  • lingering \"Saved.\" status messages.

Version 1.0.49 Minor

2026-06-05
  • ### Changed
  • - Removed every `phpcs:ignore` for `WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput` across the
  • shipped tree. The icon print helper now escapes through the `wp_kses` SVG
  • allowlist directly, so output is genuinely escaped — not suppressed.
  • ### Fixed
  • - SVG icons rendered at the wrong size: `wp_kses` lowercases attribute names,
  • turning the case-sensitive `viewBox` into `viewbox` and breaking the icon\'s
  • coordinate system. The canonical `viewBox` is now restored after escaping.
  • - Status-card header icons and the PHP Info panel were being passed through
  • `esc_html`, which printed their markup as literal text. Both now render.
  • ### Removed
  • - The unused leftover `REFUGE_MONITOR_FILE` constant, and remaining traces of the
  • project\'s former name in the shipped code (a CSS class and dead uninstall
  • cleanup). External third-party and WordPress-core hook names are unchanged.

Version 1.0.48 Minor

2026-06-02
  • ### Security
  • - Output: every echoed variable/expression is escaped late with the
  • context-appropriate function (`esc_html` / `esc_attr` / `esc_url` /
  • `wp_kses_post`). SVG icons are returned through a `wp_kses` SVG allowlist.
  • - SQL: user/value interpolation converted to `$wpdb->prepare()`. The only
  • remaining interpolations are `$wpdb->prefix`-derived table names (which cannot
  • be placeholders), each justified inline per PHPCS.
  • - Input: admin request data is `wp_unslash()` + sanitised at the point of read;
  • nonce values are sanitised before `wp_verify_nonce()`. Read-only logging that
  • observes core-verified actions is capability-gated and annotated.
  • ### Changed
  • - `ini_set( \'phar.readonly\' )` is now scoped to the GeoLite extraction routine
  • and the original value is restored immediately afterwards (no global change).
  • - Renamed leftover `refuge_*` identifiers (carried over from earlier code) to the
  • plugin\'s own `argus_*` prefix. (`wp_ajax_edit-theme-plugin-file` is a WordPress
  • core hook the logger listens to, not a plugin function, so it is unchanged.)
  • ### Fixed
  • - Corrected the plugin header `Plugin URI` to a reachable URL.
  • - File/directory references: plugin-owned paths use the plugin\'s constants;
  • remaining `ABSPATH`/`WP_CONTENT_DIR`/`WP_PLUGIN_DIR` references are intentional
  • monitor diagnostics/scans and are justified inline.

Version 1.0.13 - 1.0.47 Major

2026-05-02
  • ### Renamed & repositioned
  • - Renamed `ArgusWP` → **Aegra Site Monitor** (dropped the trademark-risky name;
  • added a descriptor stating the plugin\'s purpose)
  • - Main file, text domain, slug, and all readme/manual references aligned to
  • `aegra-site-monitor`
  • - Plugin-header `Author:` set to `robword` (the WordPress.org account); on-screen
  • \"Rob Art | Illustration\" branding retained
  • ### Free / Pro architecture split (Elementor model)
  • - Relocated ~1,800 lines of Pro feature engines out of the free main file into
  • `pro/engines-trait.php` (`trait Argus_Pro_Engines`), loaded via a `file_exists`
  • shim that defines an empty stub trait when `pro/` is absent
  • - Real licence engine confined to `pro/` — the free build ships no licence
  • machinery, no server calls, and no key-entry UI
  • - Tier detection in free build via `function_exists`-guarded fallbacks
  • (`argus_get_tier()` returns \'Free\' when Pro absent)
  • - Admin pages converted to a tab-injection filter seam
  • (`apply_filters(\'argus_<page>_pro_tabs\', [])`); licence card / notification
  • rows injected by Pro when present
  • - Locked Pro controls removed from free; upsells are advert-only and link out
  • - Added a \"Get Pro\" link on the Plugins screen
  • ### WordPress.org audit fixes
  • - Sanitised all raw `$_SERVER`/superglobal reads; `json_encode` → `wp_json_encode`
  • - Escaped all output at the point of output
  • - Moved generated files (MaxMind GeoLite2 DB) into the uploads directory with
  • `.htaccess` + `index.php` guards; removed writes outside uploads
  • - Removed inline scripts/styles where flagged; removed stray `.backup` files
  • - Documented the optional MaxMind GeoLite2 external service in the readme
  • - Wrapped `uninstall.php` cleanup and prefixed its globals
  • ### Tooling
  • - Regenerated `aegra-site-monitor.pot` (text domain aligned to slug)
  • - Passes Plugin Check (including AI analysis) with no errors or warnings

Version 1.0.11 Major

2026-04-21
  • ### Fixed
  • - Filter navigation: Campaigns & UTM, Advanced, Full Audit Trail, Admin Analytics, Orphaned Content, and Content Freshness filters now preserve correct page and tab on submit
  • - Backend > Full Audit Trail select dropdowns: arrow no longer overlaps text
  • - Traffic > Daily Views card now renders correctly on page load
  • - Tab switcher now always activates first tab on load, preventing D3 chart width returning zero
  • ### Changed
  • - Dashboard > Activity Log capped at 8 entries
  • - Traffic > Audience: countries now display full name with code beneath
  • - Live Visitor Map: dots reduce in size as they age (in addition to fading opacity)
  • - Plugins > Site Ecosystem tab: renamed from \"Detected Plugins\"; redesigned with stat cards, intent note, and detected-only checklist
  • - Plugins > Other Plugins and Bookings snapshot cards: switched from table rows to stat cards
  • - Reports: all empty-state log icons switched to blue versions
  • - Reports > Multisite: instruction text updated; \"API & Webhooks\" is now a direct link to that tab
  • - Frontend > Issues > Revision Bloat: \"Go to Tools\" button replaced with inline wp-config.php snippet and WP-CLI command
  • - Media Library > Large Files: \"Bar\" column header renamed to \"Relative Size\"
  • - Performance > Scripts & Styles: all four \"Bar\" column headers renamed to \"Relative Size\"

Version 1.0.10 Minor

2026-04-19
  • ### Changed
  • - Languages folder added; `arguswp_backend.pot` created covering all admin-facing strings
  • - `pro/` folder structure confirmed at plugin root; loader path verified consistent with suite convention

Version 1.0.9 Major

2026-04-16
  • ### Plugin Licences — Registry Hook System
  • - Introduced `argus_licence_registry` filter — any plugin can register itself for licence scanning without changes to ArgusWP
  • - `argus_read_registry_licence()` reads the standard Rob Art plugin licence array format (`key`, `tier`, `expiry`, `activated_on`) from `wp_options`
  • - Handles `lifetime` expiry correctly as active; falls back to `active` boolean flag for plugins that don\'t store expiry
  • - Supports `synthetic` entries for dev bypass mode (no DB row, constants in `wp-config.php`)
  • - Added `argus_licence_registry` filter hooks to: DBDumpWP (`dbd_licence`), LinguifiWP (`lfi_licence`), StatFloWP (`sfw_licence`), FliipsterWP (`flwp_licence`)
  • - FliipsterWP dev bypass handled via synthetic entry — correctly shows Active/Pro even with no DB row
  • - FliipsterWP `licence.php` standardised — storage now uses `expiry: lifetime` and `activated_on` to match family convention
  • ### `argus_icon()` — SVG Fill Fix
  • - Added stripping of all `<style>` blocks (not just those inside `<defs>`) to catch SVGs with top-level style tags
  • - Added regex replacement of hardcoded `fill=\"#...\"` and `fill=\"rgb(...)\"` attributes on path/circle/rect/polygon/ellipse/line elements with `fill=\"currentColor\"`
  • - Fixes transparent/invisible icons on blue card headers for SVGs that don\'t use `class=\"st0\"` — affects `history.svg`, `monitoring.svg`, and others with inline fill attributes
  • ### Reports — All 8 Pro Tabs Built
  • - **Email Alerts** — per-metric alert rules (9 metrics), threshold + notify email per rule, alert history log, Save All and Clear Log
  • - **Scheduled Reports** — daily/weekly/monthly schedule, section picker (7 sections), send test, delivery log
  • - **Export & CSV** — 10 dataset picker, date range, form-POST download trigger, export history log
  • - **Alert Thresholds** — 16 configurable thresholds across 5 groups (Database, Performance, Security, Content, Updates), reset-to-defaults

  • - **Multi-site Monitor** — add remote sites by URL + API key, health score/updates/alerts columns, refresh/remove per site
  • - **Client Reports** — agency branding (name, logo, accent colour, footer), section picker, send to client + preview HTML, delivery log
  • - **API & Webhooks** — API key generation + revoke, webhook add/remove per event (8 events), REST endpoint reference table, request log
  • - All modules: blurred Pro teaser + lock overlay for free tier; toggle switches corrected to `argus-toggle-switch` class

Aegra Site Monitor - Latest Update

v1.0.54 2026-06-19

Release Notes:

  • ### Fixed
  • - The Pro \"Verify & Activate\" button did nothing because the licence card
  • body (injected by the Pro plugin through the `aegra_licence_card_body`
  • filter) was being passed through `wp_kses_post()` in the free settings
  • view. `wp_kses_post()` strips `<input>` elements, so the licence-key field
  • was removed from the DOM and the activation JS could not read it. The
  • settings view now sanitises that injected markup with a custom `wp_kses()`
  • allowlist that permits the form field and button (with their id attributes)
  • while still escaping. No change was needed in the Pro plugin itself.
