WordPress Plugin & Theme Updates with GitHub
Have you ever wondered how to push theme and plugin updates to your clients WordPress websites?
As a WordPress developer, I always wanted a straightforward way to send updates, so users could effortlessly upgrade from version 1.0 to 1.1 with just a click. For the longest time, I thought this was beyond my expertise and something I’d never grasp…
That all changed when I stumbled upon a YouTube video by Plugin District, demonstrating how to create automatic updates for WordPress plugins. It was a game-changer!
This was my first introduction to the Plugin Update Checker, a PHP library that allows developers to easily add automatic update functionality to both themes and plugins (despite its name).
