Free WordPress Tools

Small, free tools for people who work on WordPress sites. No account, no email address, no trial that expires after seven days. Each one does a single job and then gets out of the way.

What you will not find here

No sign up wall in front of the result. No “you have used 3 of your 5 free checks today”. No result that turns out to be a preview of a result.

Where a job can be done inside your own browser, it is. The salt key generator and the password generator never send anything to a server, because there is no reason for them to. The two that do need a server, hashing and site detection, say so on the page and explain exactly what gets sent.

Built while fixing real sites

Most of these started as something we needed mid job and could not find in a usable state. The password hash generator came out of a client site where the reset email refused to send and the only way back in was through phpMyAdmin. Half the generators we found online were still producing the old phpass format that WordPress moved away from in version 6.8.

The detector came from being asked “what is that site built with” one time too many, and from wanting an answer that included the theme’s real name and version rather than just a folder name.

More on the way

This list is short because we would rather ship two tools that work properly than ten that half work. New ones get added as they are finished, and they appear here automatically.

If something you need is missing, or a tool here gets an answer wrong on a site you know well, say so on the contact page. Being told a tool is wrong is more useful than being told it is good.
