Overview

What Editor Readiness Scanner does

The editor changed under your plugins

From WordPress 7.1 the post editor always renders its canvas inside an iframe, list tables use new row markup, and several component props no longer do anything. Plugin and theme code written for the old editor keeps working right up to the update, and then a meta box disappears or a custom panel renders empty.

What Editor Readiness Scanner does

It checks a live site and gives every installed plugin and the active theme one of three verdicts: Ready, Check or Likely broken. Each finding names the file and line (or the callback that renders a meta box), a severity, a confidence level, why it matters, how to fix it, and a link to the official developer note.

  • Editor scripts that reach into the canvas through the global document or jQuery
  • Editor stylesheets that never reach the iframed canvas
  • CSS and JavaScript aimed at the old list-table markup
  • Blocks registered with apiVersion below 3 and props that changed in 7.1
  • Upcoming: React 19 patterns and classic meta boxes that turn off collaboration

The scan is read-only. It never touches other plugins’ files, posts or settings, and scan data never leaves your site.

Who it is for

Agencies that maintain many client sites and need a go/no-go before a major WordPress update, and site owners who want to know what to test, and which vendor to contact, before they click Update. It is a readiness report for the people who run the site, not a developer linting tool.

How it works

  • 1. Run the scan. Open Tools → Editor Readiness and click Run scan. It runs in short chunks while the page is open and continues in the background if you close it. From WP-CLI: wp editor-readiness scan --fail-on=broken.
  • 2. Runtime and static checks. The scanner opens the editor for each post type in a simulated, unsaved state and records every meta box, script and style, then reads plugin and theme files against rules taken from the developer notes. Editor rules only run on files that actually load in the editor.
  • 3. Read and share the report. Review the summary, open a plugin for its findings, check the Meta boxes tab, and export JSON, CSV or a print-friendly report. White label removes the plugin name for client delivery. The last 10 scans stay in History.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What does "iframed editor" mean?

Since WordPress 7.1 the post editor always renders the content canvas inside an iframe, a separate document from the admin page. Editor scripts that query the global document, or stylesheets enqueued only on the admin page, no longer reach the canvas. The scanner finds that code before you update.

Does it change anything on my site?

No. The scan is read-only. It never edits other plugins' files, posts or settings, and stores only its own scan results and settings. Scan data never leaves your site; the only outbound requests are the license and update checks to technoleet.dev. The runtime check does run other plugins' editor code, exactly as opening the editor would, so run the first scan on a staging copy if you can.

How often does it scan?

On demand. Click Run scan under Tools → Editor Readiness, or run wp editor-readiness scan from WP-CLI. The scan runs in short chunks while the page is open and continues in the background through Action Scheduler or WP-Cron if you close it. New rules for new WordPress releases arrive as plugin updates; re-run the scan after updating.

How do I activate my license?

Install the plugin from your technoleet.dev account zip, activate it under Plugins, then go to Tools → Editor Readiness License, paste your key and click Activate License. Updates then appear on Dashboard → Updates like any other plugin. To move the license, deactivate it on the old site first.

What happens when the license expires?

The plugin keeps scanning. Automatic updates, new rule entries and support stop until you renew. If technoleet.dev cannot be reached, a previously valid license keeps working for 14 days.

How do I get support?

Support is included with an active license for one year and is handled through your technoleet.dev account. Include the JSON export of your scan when you write in; it has everything we need to reproduce a finding.
