How to set it up
Review your WordPress environment
The WordPress Environment table shows read-only information about your WordPress installation. You can't change anything here — it simply reflects your current setup:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| WP Version | Your WordPress version. Highlighted red if below 5.2. |
| WP Active Plugins | Total number of active plugins on the site. |
| WP Debug Mode | Whether debug mode is enabled. Green if "No", red if "Yes". |
| WP Timezone | Your WordPress timezone. Flagged red if set to "UTC" or missing a region (should be something like Europe/Amsterdam, not UTC+1). |
| WP Current Date | The server's current date. |
| WP Current Time | The server's current time, with a refresh button. |
Review your server environment
The Server Environment table shows your PHP and server settings:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Server Info | Web server software (e.g., Apache, Nginx). |
| PHP Version | Your PHP version. Flagged red if below 7.2. |
| PHP Memory Usage | Used memory vs. total allocated. Flagged red if above 80% usage. |
| PHP Max Upload Size | Maximum file upload size allowed by your server. |
| PHP Post Max Size | Maximum size for form submissions. |
| PHP Max Execution Time | Script timeout in seconds. Flagged red if below 30 seconds. |
| PHP Max Input Vars | Maximum number of input variables accepted per request. |
Fix database issues
The Database Status section compares the required structure against what's currently installed. If there are issues:
- A red badge shows the number of issues found (e.g., "3 issues").
- The specific issues are listed in a table on the right side.
- Click the Fix Issues button to automatically repair the structure.
- Wait while the repair runs (the button text changes to "Fixing...").
- After completion, the status should change to All Good (green badge).
The section also shows:
- Required Structure — the version your installed plugin expects
- Current Structure — the version currently in your database
- Last Structure Update — when the structure was last updated
Manage error logs
If RepairPlugin encounters errors during operation, they're saved to log files. The Error Logs section shows:
- Status — "No errors found" (green) or "Issues" (red)
- Last Errors Cleared — when errors were last cleaned up
When errors are present, you can:
- Click Download All (zip) to download all error log files as a ZIP archive — useful for sending to RepairPlugin support.
- Click Clear Errors to delete all error log files after you've resolved the issues.
- Browse individual log files on the left side and click a file to view its contents on the right.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Fix Issues button actually do?
It compares your current database tables against the structure RepairPlugin expects. If there are differences, it creates missing tables, adds missing columns, and corrects column types. It never deletes any of your data -- it only adds or adjusts the database structure.
What is Safe Debug Mode?
When enabled, RepairPlugin automatically deactivates itself if a serious PHP error occurs within the plugin. This prevents your entire website from going down. It's mainly useful when the RepairPlugin support team is debugging an issue on your site. Default: off.
