New: Check for plugin updates now button on the AQM Popup settings page.

The plugin auto-polls GitHub every 6 hours for new releases, but if a new tag landed mid-cache (which is exactly what happens during active development), users had to wait or manually clear transients to see the update.

The new button — at the bottom of the AQM Popup settings page — clears both the plugin's own 6-hour GitHub cache and WordPress's plugin-update transient, then forces a fresh poll. The result is shown inline:

  • "Update available: vX.Y.Z (you are on vA.B.C). Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins to install." with a direct link to the Plugins page, OR
  • "You are running the latest version (vX.Y.Z)."

Installation note — to upgrade from an earlier version that doesn't have this button yet:

  1. WP Admin → Dashboard → Updates → click Check again at the top.
  2. If that doesn't surface the update, deactivate and reactivate AQM Popup, then Check again.
  3. Once you're on v1.0.7+, future update checks are one click from Settings → AQM Popup → Plugin updates.
