Will you be adding the WP Easy Updates plugin to the WordPress repository so we can check version compatibility with WordPress releases?

Hi Karin,

It’t not something the wp.org will accept as it communicates with 3rd party sites (to get update info)

Are you having any problems?

Thanks,

Stiofan

Not specifically, but we prefer having their review process involved with plugins that we install so we understand the security issues involved and see reviews. What controls are in place for keeping the plugin from getting updates from sites other than yours?

Hi Karin,

I understand your concerns, we have very strict security checks, both automatic and manual.
The code is totally opensource https://github.com/AyeCode/wp-easy-updates and i am happy for anyone to review the code as i built it myself 🙂
The way WPEU knows what server to get updates from is if the plugin/theme adds 1 specific line to their code, so its impossible for it to do anything but check for the update from the site the actual plugin/theme defines.

If i can help further just let me know.

Thanks,

Stiofan
