The PHP and SQL “alert system” of this plugin, compatible with Serve Happy / Site Health specifications, is based (at a glance) on the well-known red, orange, green, of “traffic light” method, so that any type of user is able to immediately identify, by means of a “visual color” warning, the necessary notices, even without having any specific technical preparation.

The final purpose of this “conceptual” plugin is to demostrate that is possible, whit a simple re-coding, and a good idea, to standardize, uniformizing, improve, requalifying, some aspects of WordPress that are put in the oblivion.

Tips

A neat trick, is to put this single file admin-footer-version-rebranded.php (not its parent directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) so you won’t even have to enable it, and will be loaded by default, also, since first step installation of WordPress setup!

Also, for translation functionality, put all files of the single languages (admin-footer-version-rebranded-en_US.mo for example) that you need (not its parent directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) and will be loaded by default, they also, since first step installation of WordPress setup!

Note that mu-plugins functionality is available since WP 2.8+ or greater and is not present in WP 2.7+ or previous.

About it

The code of this plugin is not written with a PHP framework, but manually, with a simple PHP editor compatible UTF-8 without BOM, and Unix LF. To avoid code corruption, do not edit it with WordPress embedded editor, or with any specifications incompatible editor. This author is exonerated from any responsibility or damage (directly or indirectly) caused and due to the use of this bad practice.

If you are not “interested” in this feature.
For security purpose. Read more on ZDNet here and Felix Arntz here.
White Screen of Death (WSoD) was posponed to WP 5.2 instead of 5.1
