About FreshRepo
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
FreshRepo is a security-oriented repository manager specifically designed for post-hack remediation and file integrity restoration.
When a website is compromised, attackers frequently inject backdoors, webshells, and malicious PHP files into repository subdirectories. Traditional updates only overwrite existing matching filenames, leaving orphan malware files behind.
FreshRepo solves this:
* Smart Origin Identification: Automatically detects whether each installed item is hosted on the official WordPress.org repository or is a 3rd-party / custom / premium item.
* 1-Click Clean Reinstall: Downloads pristine zip packages directly from WordPress.org, completely deletes the existing directory to purge injected backdoors, and extracts fresh clean files.
* Bulk Reinstall Engine: Replaces all official items in an automated sequential AJAX batch with real-time progress bars and live execution terminal.
* Safety First: Automatically generates full ZIP snapshots in your uploads directory before wiping any directory.
* Detailed Audit Log: Keeps a complete record of reinstallation history, timestamps, versions, and statuses.
