How to Find and Share Your System Information

What is System Information?

System Information (or a System Status Report) is a diagnostic snapshot of your WordPress installation and hosting environment.

As a site owner, you can use this report to quickly review your server configurations, check software versions, and understand your site’s overall environment. Additionally, support teams use this report to troubleshoot unexpected plugin behavior, compatibility conflicts, and server limitations without requiring direct access to your login credentials.

What is Included in a System Information Report?

• WordPress Environment: Core version, Site/Home URL, multisite status, active theme, and WordPress memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT).
• Server Configuration: PHP version, MySQL/MariaDB version, PHP memory limit, maximum execution time, and active PHP extensions (cURL, OpenSSL, etc.).
• Plugin Inventory: A full list of active plugins (and often inactive plugins) alongside their exact version numbers.
• Plugin-Specific Diagnostics: License activation statuses, payment gateway settings, active template overrides, and error log excerpts (depending on the plugin).

Data Privacy & Security Note: System Info reports are strictly read-only diagnostics. They do not modify your site settings, nor do they expose sensitive credentials, credit card details, customer passwords, or private API/encryption keys.

How to Update Values in Your System Information

Because the System Information report is a read-only snapshot, you cannot edit or change any values directly from the report itself.

If you review your diagnostics and spot a value that needs to be updated, you must navigate to the correct settings area to apply the change:

• Server & Environment Values: Settings such as your PHP version, PHP memory limit, and max execution time must be updated through your hosting control panel (e.g., the Nexcess Client Portal).
• Plugin Configurations: Settings such as license keys, active add-ons, and payment gateways must be modified directly in the plugin’s settings menu in your WordPress dashboard.

After updating the settings in the correct location, you can refresh or regenerate your System Information report to confirm that the new values are active.
