Report
The Report tab is the home of the auditor. It shows the most recent audit, or an older one picked from History.
Toolbar#
At the top you see when the audit ran, how many abilities were audited, how long it took and the WordPress version. Next to it:
- Since the previous audit: N new, M resolved compares this audit with the one before it by finding fingerprint. The first audit says “First audit in history: there is nothing to compare with yet.”
- Export JSON, Export CSV and Print view buttons. See Exports.
Warnings#
Two kinds of warning can appear above the summary:
| Warning | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A permission callback tried to execute these abilities during the audit | A permission check attempted to run an ability. Ability Auditor blocked it. Review that callback; permission checks should never run abilities. |
| Rule X failed and was skipped | A rule threw an error. The rest of the audit still ran. If it is a custom rule added with abau_rules, check its code. |
Severity cards#
One card per severity with the number of findings. Clicking a card filters the table to that severity.
Findings table#
Each row is one finding with four columns: Severity, Finding (the rule title and message), Ability and Owner. You can:
- Filter by severity and by rule using the dropdowns above the table.
- Tick New since previous audit to show only findings that were not in the previous audit. New findings also carry a New badge.
- Search findings by ability name or message.
- Sort by severity, ability or owner by clicking the column headers.
Click an ability name in any row to open its detail panel.
Older audits#
