Plugin improvements Excluded file extensions are now fully skipped during scans. Previously the plugin was still reading and hashing these files. Ignored directories are now properly excluded from file change detection as well as from the scan itself. Refactored the file comparison logic for improved performance, accuracy, and maintainability. Optimized the way the plugin stores certain data so it no longer creates 10s of 1000s of temporary records during scans in the wp_options table. They’re now limited, most websites will see less than 20 temporary records in wp_options and strictly only during scans. Temporary files created by the phpfastcache library are now stored in wp-content/uploads/melapress-file-monitor/mfm-tmp/ and are properly removed after use. Improved the cron job’s reliability to avoid scan interruptions and related scheduling issues. Applied a number of generic scan performance and speed improvements. Removed outdated Captcha 4WP references from the About page and updated branding assets.

PHP warning fileperms(): stat failed caused by phpfastcache writing temporary files to non-existent paths. Fixed: all database tables and cron jobs are now properly cleaned up on uninstall. Fixed: Cron job mfm_monitor_file_changes was not removed on plugin deactivation or uninstall due to an incorrect reference name. Fixed: Files above the configured size limit were still having permissions changes and other events reported. Fixed the PHP fatal error wp_is_valid_utf8() call to undefined function triggered in the setup wizard on completion. Fixed: PHP fatal error caused by phpfastcache returning a non-array value in Driver::driverRead(). Fixed: TypeError when saving settings with a null value passed to strtoupper(). Fixed: PHP fatal error Call to undefined method Directory_Runner::delete_all() in class-db-handler.php. Fixed: PHP notice for translation domain being loaded too early. Fixed: The scan status REST endpoint was publicly accessible without authentication. Fixed: Plugin was incorrectly identified as “File Manager” in WP Activity Log logs. Now it is correctly shown as “Melapress File Monitor”.
