README

This is a set of all needed libraries to include in a plugin, to get automatic updates from Anexandre Froger's WP Plugin Update Server.

Requirements:

• WP Plugin Update Server must be installed and configured
• Your plugin must appear in WP Plugin Update Server packages list
• Composer must be configured (if not run composer init --type=wordpress-plugin from your plugin root folder)

Install from command-line:

# Install package with composer
composer require magicoli/wp-package-updater-lib
# Add library to lib/wp-package-updater-lib
php vendor/magicoli/wp-package-updater-lib/install.php
# You should run install.php again each time the package is updated

To keep library up to date with composer update, insert this in composer.json:

"scripts": {
  "post-update-cmd": [
    "php vendor/magicoli/wp-package-updater-lib/install.php"
  ]
}

Include the following in your main plugin file:

// Adjust with your plugin uddate server URL
$wppul_server = 'https://magiiic.com';
$wppul_licence_required = false; // optional, set to true if licence is set in WPPUS

// Use autoload to load library
require_once( __DIR__ . '/lib/package-updater.php' );

The $wppul_server variable will be unset by the library afterwards to prevent conflicts with any other plugin so it is not safe to use it for other purposes.

Description

Requirements

The library must sit in a lib folder at the root of the plugin or theme directory.

Before deploying the plugin or theme, make sure to change the following value:

• https://your-update-server.com => The URL of the server where WP Plugin Update Server is installed.
• $prefix_updater => Change this variable's name with your plugin or theme prefix
