What the Auto Updater does
Everything runs through your All Access membership. There is nothing extra to buy.
Updates in wp-admin
New versions show on the Plugins and Themes screens, and you update them the usual way.
Unlimited sites
Connect every site you build or manage to the one membership.
Signs in for you
Log in once on each site. After that the updater authenticates itself with an API key.
White label
Rebrand the updater with your own plugin name and details for client sites.
Previous versions
Roll a product back to an older version if an update misbehaves.
Domain management
See and control which of your sites are connected, from your account dashboard.
Secure downloads
Every update is delivered through a signed download link that expires after use.
Uses your plan's credits
Updates come out of your daily credits, the same as downloading from the site.
5,900+ products
Most of the catalogue is set up for auto updates, and more are added every week.
Set it up in a few minutes
