Good enough

Pretty good but why did you make it a widget ? It’s very unpractical

need to update for wordpress 6.7

unable to find the admin list of the php error. quite confusing where to locate this. not sure if this related to the wordpress latest version

With powerful options like ignore or fixed to filter messages one can focus on what needs attention. The PRO version summary is very helpful. A suggested enhancement to make the monitor more reada
