What's New

Connection Diagnostics System

A complete diagnostic engine that detects what's blocking MCP API endpoints or Application Passwords, with actionable fix instructions.

9 automated checks:

  • HTTPS / SSL detection
  • Permalink structure validation
  • Application Passwords availability (global + per-user)
  • REST API loopback reachability
  • Security plugin compatibility (Wordfence, iThemes, Sucuri, AIOS, WP Cerber, Perfmatters, Shield)
  • Hosting provider detection (WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, Cloudways, GoDaddy, SiteGround, Pantheon)
  • Bricks Builder active check
  • MCP endpoint registration check

New Surfaces

  • Admin Settings Panel — "Run Diagnostics" button with colored status icons, fix instructions, and clipboard copy. Replaces the old Test Connection button.
  • WP Site Health — 3 Bricks MCP checks integrated into Tools > Site Health.
  • Plugin Activation Checks — Lightweight checks on activate surface issues as admin notices.
  • MCP Toolget_site_info(action: 'diagnose') returns structured JSON for AI agents.
  • Builder Guide — Connection Troubleshooting section for AI-assisted debugging.

Smart Dependency Ordering

Checks run in dependency order — downstream checks automatically skip when prerequisites fail (e.g., MCP Endpoint check skips if REST API is unreachable).
