From the developer

Oleg Petrov's own description of DiveWP, lightly tidied.

Compatibility: Requires WordPress 6.0 or later. Tested through WordPress 7.0 (full support on WordPress 7). Abilities API / MCP features need WordPress 6.9+ (included in WordPress 7); all other DiveWP features run on the minimum version.

📋 System Logs

Central place to read and understand errors without opening raw log files. The System Logs screen merges WordPress debug.log, WooCommerce file logs, and the WooCommerce fatal error log (when present), with severity labels (fatal, error, warning, notice, info) and grouping by source (plugin, theme, WooCommerce, or core).

What you get:
* Latest — newest entries across all readable sources, with adjustable “show last” limits (50–500)
* By Source — cards per source with severity counts; drill into entries for one source
* WP Debug Log — focused view of wp-content/debug.log (when readable)
* WooCommerce Logs — log files from WooCommerce’s log handler
* Fatal Errors Log — WooCommerce fatal error log when available
* Logs Access Help — guidance when logs are missing or not readable (permissions, host-managed paths)
* Entry details — modal with full message/stack context and copy for support
* Abilities API: divewp/system-logs — same views for AI assistants via MCP (latest, by source, per-source entries, filters, help status)

🔌 NEW: Plugins Management

Monitor and manage all installed plugins from one place. DiveWP’s Plugins Management feature shows every plugin with active/inactive status, update availability, and “Up to date” state. View details and changelog from WordPress.org, and activate or deactivate plugins without leaving the dashboard.

Plugins Management & Abilities API: Use the divewp/plugins-management ability so AI assistants can list plugins, fetch description and changelog for a plugin, or activate/deactivate a plugin by file path.

What Plugins Management Delivers:
* Unified plugin list – All installed plugins with status pills (Active, Inactive, Update Available, Up to date)
* Dashboard overview – Green and red pill counts on the main dashboard for quick health overview
* Details drawer – Overview, full description, and changelog from WordPress.org
* Toggle activation – Activate or deactivate plugins from the card or drawer
* Search – Filter plugins by name, author, or description
* Abilities API – Operations: list (all plugins), details (wp.org info for one plugin), toggle (activate/deactivate)

🤖 NEW: AI Capabilities & WordPress Abilities API

Talk to your WordPress site through AI! DiveWP integrates with the WordPress Abilities API and Model Context Protocol (MCP), so AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT can query your site’s health and diagnostics directly—no copy-paste needed.

WordPress Abilities API & MCP:
* 12 Diagnostic Abilities – Server insights, cron monitoring, plugins management, database health, security audits, system logs (debug/WooCommerce/fatal), and more via the Abilities API
* Zero Copy-Paste – AI agents run diagnostics through MCP without manual log sharing
* Secure Authentication – WordPress Application Passwords for safe, controlled access
* Step-by-Step Setup – “AI Capabilities” tab guides you through 3-step configuration for Abilities API and MCP clients

Available Abilities:
* divewp/server-insights – Full server health & config check
* divewp/cron-insights – Monitor WP-Cron and Action Scheduler; background tasks & overdue jobs

* divewp/performance-checks – Caching & optimization discovery
* divewp/theme-builder-insights – Theme and page builder health
* divewp/woocommerce-best-practices – WooCommerce optimization

* divewp/plugins-management – List installed plugins, fetch wp.org details/changelog, or toggle plugin activation (operations: list, details, toggle)
* divewp/system-logs – WordPress debug log, WooCommerce logs, fatal error log; views: latest, by source, filters, help status

⏰ NEW: Cron Job Manager & WP-Cron Monitoring

Take control of WordPress cron jobs and scheduled tasks. DiveWP’s Cron Job Manager gives you a clear view of WP-Cron and Action Scheduler so you can spot overdue jobs, slow hooks, and misconfigured cron setups.

Cron Jobs & Abilities API: Use the divewp/cron-insights ability so AI assistants can inspect your cron status, overdue tasks, and recommendations without opening the admin.

What the Cron Job Manager Delivers:
* Real-time cron monitoring – WP-Cron and Action Scheduler in one dashboard
* Hook performance – Execution time and memory per cron hook
