<h3>Why ZIP Archive Scanner?</h3>
<p>Old backups, migration exports, and duplicate plugin bundles pile up on every WordPress site – and a full-site archive sitting in a public folder can expose your database credentials to anyone who guesses its URL.</p>
<p><strong>ZIP Archive Scanner</strong> walks your <strong>entire WordPress file system</strong> (not just uploads) and gives you a clean report of every ZIP archive it finds, so you can review each one and remove what you no longer need. The scan runs in small, timeout-safe batches, so it works even on huge sites and slow shared hosting.</p>
<h3>Free Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full file system scan:</strong> Batched and timeout-safe – works on huge sites and slow shared hosting.</li>
<li><strong>Risk assessment:</strong> Archives in the web root or with backup-like names (<code>backup.zip</code>, <code>wp.zip</code>, <code>db.zip</code>…) are flagged high risk.</li>
<li><strong>Review everything:</strong> File name, location, size, and last-modified date in a sortable, searchable table.</li>
<li><strong>One-click cleanup:</strong> Delete an archive right from the dashboard, or copy its public URL to verify exposure.</li>
<li><strong>Export &amp; bulk actions:</strong> Export the report as CSV or Markdown and bulk delete unwanted archives.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pro Version</h3>
<p>The Pro version adds <strong>Save Result</strong> – save scan reports as named snapshots and review them anytime (up to 20 snapshots).</p>

<h3>Development &amp; Source Code</h3>

<p>To build from source:</p>
<ol>
<li>The dashboard uses the shared open-source component library <code>bpl-tools</code> (GPL): https://github.com/bPlugins/bpl-tools — clone it as a sibling directory of this plugin (i.e. <code>wp-content/plugins/bpl-tools</code>).</li>
<li>Inside the plugin directory run <code>npm install</code>.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code> — the compiled files are written to <code>build/</code>.</li>
</ol>
