What's new

GitHub Update Checker

  • Admin notice appears when a newer release is available on GitHub
  • Checks GitHub releases API with a 12-hour transient cache (no repeated API calls)
  • Only visible to users with update_plugins capability
  • Links directly to the latest release page
  • Fails silently on network errors — no noise if GitHub is unreachable

Compatibility

  • Tested up to WordPress 7.0
  • PHP 7.4 – 8.3 supported (8.2/8.3 recommended)

Tests

  • 8 new PHPUnit tests for the update checker (44 total, all passing)

Upgrade

No breaking changes. Drop in and activate — update notices will appear automatically when future releases are published.
