File Change Detector

AddonLogic File Change Detector

About this Plugin

Periodically hashes WordPress core, active theme, and active plugin files via WP-Cron and compares them against a stored baseline. When unexpected file additions, modifications, or deletions are detected, an email alert is sent to the configured admin address. A "Set Baseline" action captures the current known-good file state. A "Run Scan Now" button triggers an immediate scan outside the cron schedule.
