 # Wordpress plugin: a theme updater for GitHub-hosted Wordpress themes
 
-Do you wish that you could somehow get update notifications within WordPress for _private_ themes that you use for your site? Perhaps a theme that you had developed specifically for your site? Or a theme you developed for a client site?  And do you wish you could do "automatic updates" to those private themes just like you can for _public_ themes available from WordPress.org?
+Do you wish that you could somehow get update notifications within WordPress for _custom_ themes that you use for your site? Perhaps a custom theme that you had developed specifically for your site? Or a theme you developed for a client site?  And do you wish you could do "automatic updates" to those custom themes just like you can for _public_ themes available from WordPress.org?
 
-This WordPress plugin lets you host a theme in a Github _public_ repository (private repos are not supported) and then notify sites when a new version of the theme is available.  Those sites can then perform an auto-update just as with publicly available themes.  The plugin also allows you to roll back to a previous version of the theme.

 Add `Github Theme URI` to your `style.css` header, this will be where the plugin looks for updates.  I also recommend using [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/) for the version number. (Note that the version number does _not_ need to start with "v" as shown in the examples below. You can simply use a number such as "1.2.0". You just need to be consistent with how you create version numbers.)

 Inside your WordPress admin menu (standalone) or network admin menu (MultiSite) choose "Add New" under the Plugins menu.  Search for "Theme Updater" and this will bring you to [the plugin's WordPress page](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-updater/) where you can install the plugin directly into your WordPress installation. (Alternatively you can visit that page, download the plugin as a zip file and upload it to your WordPress install, but why go through all that work?)
