详情介绍:
- Days until expiry on Dashboard Home, so you do not have to log into the registrar to know if auto-renew is actually doing its job
- Hijacking signals: email when nameservers or MX records change
- Outage warnings: pending delete, registry hold, expiry inside 7 days, or an expired TLS certificate, as a wp-admin notice editors can see
- Email to the WordPress admin address when expiry crosses 30, 14, or 7 days, when the registry puts the name on hold or pending delete, when nameservers or MX change, or when the TLS certificate is about to lapse
- Registrar name and a typical control-panel link, so the next click is "fix it"
- No extra account. No second inbox to keep in sync. One domain: the one this site runs on.
- Looks up registry expiry and status over RDAP for gTLDs (generic top-level domains such as .com, .net, and .org). For full ccTLD (country-code top-level domain) coverage, sign up at Notify.domains
- Reads public DNS (nameservers, A, AAAA, MX) over HTTPS
- Probes the TLS certificate on the site hostname
- Shows the registrar name and a link to a typical control panel
安装:
- Zip the
notify-domains-domain-monitorfolder and upload it at Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin. Or copy that folder to/wp-content/plugins/notify-domains-domain-monitor/. - Activate Notify.domains Domain Monitor.
- Open the Dashboard. The Domain Monitor widget is on.
- Optional: Settings → Domain Monitor to confirm the domain and that mail goes to the admin address.

常见问题:
What does this protect against?
Expiry (registration running out), hijacking (nameserver or MX changes you did not expect), and the outages that follow (pending delete, hold, or a lapsed TLS certificate). Checks run from this WordPress site, and the status lives on the dashboard.
Why not just rely on the registrar email?
That mail often goes to whoever registered the name: a former employee, a privacy proxy, or the agency that built the site and no longer has the contract. Domain Monitor puts expiry, DNS, and TLS in wp-admin, and emails the WordPress admin address the site team already uses.
Does this require a Notify.domains account?
No. Registry, DNS, and TLS checks for gTLDs run from your WordPress host. Notify.domains is optional, and is how you get full ccTLD coverage, off-site monitoring, and marketplace listings.
Where do emails go?
The WordPress admin email under Settings → General. Change it there. Domain Monitor does not keep a separate address so the two cannot drift apart.
Why is expiry wrong or missing?
Some registries do not publish an expiration date in RDAP. Some hosts block outbound HTTPS to the registry. The plugin will say it could not reach the registry instead of showing a fake all-clear.
Why does TLS say Cloudflare?
If the site is proxied, the certificate WordPress can see is Cloudflare's edge cert, which auto-renews. That is not the origin certificate on your host.
Does this support country-code domains (.uk, .de, .au)?
This plugin covers gTLDs (generic top-level domains such as .com, .net, and .org). Country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) are not fully covered here. Sign up at Notify.domains for ccTLD monitoring.
更新日志:
- Quarterly compatibility release for WordPress 7.1. Tested on current WordPress. Security review of admin actions, outbound lookups, and uninstall. Domain Monitor stays current so expiry and hijack alerts keep working as WordPress changes.
- Days until expiry on the dashboard widget use the viewer's local thousands separator (1,783 in the United States, and that region's grouping elsewhere).
- External services section documents every third-party lookup (IANA bootstrap, registry RDAP operators, DNS resolvers, optional Notify.domains links) with working terms and privacy policy URLs.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
- Sample emails include registry hold and mail routing, ordered expiry, hold, nameservers, mail routing, certificate.
- Sample email intro copy uses the full width of the settings card.
- Settings screen shows labeled sample emails (nameservers, expiry, certificate) so you can see what an alert looks like before one is sent.
- How Domain Monitor works can be collapsed and expanded. It is no longer dismissed permanently.
- Clearer Domain Monitor emails: specific subjects, HTML plus plain text, linked Open Domain Monitor button.
- Settings help text for Domain and TLS hostname stays in the value column.
- Settings screen no longer fatals if plugin files are out of sync. Domain and TLS hostname are read from Settings → General. Widget status icon matches the two-line header.
- Clearer empty states and lookup errors. Widget icon sized to the two-line header. Issue lines align with the heading. Check now shows a spinner until the page reloads. Dashboard widget visibility is Screen Options only.
- Settings footer shows the plugin version and a Contact us link. Next-check times stay on one line.
- First check runs as soon as you open Domain Monitor after activate, with a visible progress state.
- First version. Dashboard widget, Settings screen, daily RDAP / DNS / TLS checks, email to the admin address.
