Upgrade Pilot tracks changes to installed WordPress plugins that core WordPress does not surface, such as ownership transfers, author changes, or security-related closures. It provides daily snapshots and alerts so users can evaluate updates before applying them. The plugin also helps test whether a site will survive upcoming WordPress and PHP version upgrades and allows freezing specific plugins to prevent unwanted updates. It surfaces risks that would otherwise remain invisible.
