## ማብራሪያ

ABC Integrity checks each WordPress core file against the official checksums published
by WordPress.org. After a scan, any file that has been modified, is missing, or 
cannot be read is flagged in the dashboard — so you can catch tampering, accidental
edits, or signs of a compromised site before they become a bigger problem.

**Features**

 * One-click scan — no configuration required
 * Detects modified, missing, and unreadable core files
 * Automatically re-fetches checksums when WordPress is updated
 * Lightweight: scans run on demand, not in the background
 * Plugin and theme files are not checked (core files only)

### External Services

ABC Integrity connects to the WordPress.org Core Checksums API when an administrator
runs a core file scan. The request sends the site’s WordPress version and locale
so WordPress.org can return the matching official checksum manifest.

Service: https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/
 Terms: https://wordpress.
org/about/terms/ Privacy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/

## መጫን

 1. Install and activate the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Navigate to **ABC Integrity** in the admin menu and click **Scan core files**.

## የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

### Does this plugin check plugin or theme files?

No. ABC Integrity only checks WordPress core files. Plugin and theme files are not
scanned.

### What does it mean if a file is flagged as modified?

It means the file on your server doesn’t match the official WordPress checksum for
that file. This could be intentional (a manual edit), accidental, or a sign that
your site has been compromised. You should investigate any flagged file and restore
it from an official WordPress release if you didn’t make the change yourself.

### Does running a scan slow down my site?

No. Scans run only when you click the button in the dashboard — there is no background
processing, scheduled scanning, or impact on front-end page load.

### How does the plugin get the checksums?

When you run a scan, the plugin fetches the official checksum manifest from the 
WordPress.org Core Checksums API (`api.wordpress.org`), matching your exact WordPress
version and locale. The manifest is cached and automatically refreshed when WordPress
is updated.
