Plugin Security Scanner
This plugin determines whether any of your plugins or themes have security vulnerabilities. It does this by looking up details in the WPScan Vulnerability Database. It will run a scan once a day, and e-mail the administrator if any vulnerable plugins or themes are found. Please note: As from version 2.0.0, you will need to register on the WPScan Vulnerability Database site in order to get an API token. This token is required before any security scans can be performed. Once you have your token, it can be added to the Plugin Security Scanner settings page. You can also register a webhook for notifications. The webhook will trigger daily, even if no vulnerabilities found. The webhook is a post request, with JSON payload containing the vulnerabilities. You can enable the webhook under Settings\General tab – see the Plugin Security Scanner settings. It also adds a new menu option to the admin tools menu called “Plugin Security Scanner”. Clicking this runs a scan. If the scan finds any problems, it shows you a list of plugins or themes that have vulnerabilities, along with a description of the issue. The WPScan Vulnerability Database API, which this plugin uses, is free for non-commercial use. However, any commercial usage will require that you purchase a commercial license from WPScan. If you are using the API for your own site then you will not need a commercial license. However, if you are a hosting company and install the plugin systematically across all of your clients sites, then you will need to purchase a commercial license. If you are making heavy use of the API, it is likely that you will need to purchase a commercial license. To enquire about a commercial license, please contact team@wpvulndb.com Icons made by Alessio Atzeni from www.flaticon.com is licensed by CC BY 3.0
Quizzlestick
What is it? The relaunched version of the quiz created for Project Babb for The Telegraph. Why use it? If you are looking for a super new plugin to add quizzes to your WordPress site, a plugin where the type of quiz can be selected, images chosen and text modified, then this is the plugin for you. What does the plugin do? The plugin gives you the option to create one of two types of quizzes to test your visitors: The Single Answer Quiz – Choose a single correct answer from a multiple choice question. The Which Are You / Is It Quiz – A series of questions to find out more about the reader taking the quiz. The quiz is fully customisable allowing you to set a description, correct and incorrect answer text, the number of points each answer is worth (including negative values to make the quiz extra difficult!) and the option to apply images to both the question and answer. How do I use it? Navigate to the administration panel on the left of the dashboard and select ‘Quizzes’. From here select ‘Add New’ to develop a new quiz or click ‘edit’ to amend an existing quiz. Quizzes are embedded into a post or page with a shortcode, which can be found in the Embed meta box at the right of the page (and looks like [quizzlestick id=1]. From here copy the shortcode and simply paste into a new line on the page or post you want to insert the quiz into. It’s as simple as that! Update Notice 1.0.1 Changes to readme.txt
