New Trash Summary and Environment Info cards, redesigned footer, smarter dashboard widget, dark mode fix, and full Italian translation.
Introduction
The best maintenance tool is one that tells you where to look before you start cleaning. Scotty v2.0.2 adds two new Overview cards — Trash Summary and Environment Info — that give you instant visibility into what needs attention and what's running under the hood. The dashboard widget got a complete rewrite with proper loading states and database metrics, the footer now credits the tools that power the plugin, and a dark mode bug that made confirm dialogs unreadable is finally fixed.
What's New in 2.0.2
✨ Trash Summary Card
The Overview now includes a Items to Clean card that shows the total number of cleanable items across your site at a glance. Colored badges break it down by category:
- Revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts, spam comments, orphan metadata
- Each badge only appears when items exist — clean sites show a green zero
- Click "Clean now" to jump directly to the Trash section
No more guessing how cluttered your database is — the number is right there on the dashboard.
✨ Environment Info Card
A new card in the Overview row displays your server configuration:
- PHP version, WordPress version, MySQL version
- Memory limit and max upload size
- Server software (nginx, Apache, etc.)
This data loads with zero extra queries — it's pulled from the WordPress runtime at no performance cost. Useful for debugging, support tickets, or just knowing what you're running.
✨ Redesigned Footer
The plugin footer has been completely rewritten:
- Left side: Docs link and Report Issue link with colored icons
- Right side: "Built with WP Bones | Mantine UI" with framework logos
- Clean, informative, and properly credits the open-source tools that power Scotty
✨ Smarter Dashboard Widget
The WordPress Dashboard widget has been rebuilt from the ground up:
- Loading skeleton while data fetches (was blank before)
- Error state with clear message if the API call fails
- Database Size and Cron Jobs count in a compact footer row
- Translated tooltips for all progress bars
- 19% smaller bundle — removed unused providers and CSS imports
- Fixed link — "Open Scotty" now goes to Overview instead of Trash
🐛 Dark Mode Fix
The modal confirm dialog title was invisible in dark mode — black text on dark background. Now uses var(--mantine-color-text) which adapts to the color scheme automatically.
🌍 Italian Translation Update
All 223 translatable strings are now covered with 100% Italian translation, including the new Trash Summary, Environment Info, and footer text. POT, PO, MO, and JSON files all regenerated.
