You can find this under Site Health on Tools on the Dashboard

There are a number of health check and security plugins that might give you such a list. You asked how to get one; Site Health is an answer.

@sterndata Thank you, Steve.

I spent several hours poring through page after page; downloading, installing, running, many different plugins.

While chatting with a friend, I mentioned this and they recommended that I take another look at “Plugin List” as there are a number of variables that can now be used.

While Plugin List isn’t what I used last month, it did produce the desired results with this shortcode:

<ul>[plugins_list show_inactive=true format="{{Title}} - {{Version}} </br>"]</ul>

Cheers,

Tod
