Dear users,

This is with regrets that I saw this plugin removed from WordPress’ repository.

WordPress has flagged this plugin as going against their plugin guidelines:

Executing outside code within a plugin when not acting as a service is not allowed, for example:

• Serving updates or otherwise installing plugins, themes, or add-ons from servers other than www.ads-software.com’s

While I am not sure when this section was added to the documentation, it is merely a guidelines issue, not a security strike – after all, WPPUS was accepted and was available on www.ads-software.com for as long as 10 months.

Regards,

Hello,

I got the first part to work with the updates but I can’t seem to figure out on how to get the Licensing part to work. I’m receiving this error when I click “Activate”:

An active license is required to update the plugin. Please provide a valid license key in Plugins > Installed Plugins.

I have created a couple of licenses, set their status as Activated, as a Plugin and correct slug and the package has ” Requires License ” enabled

What am I doing wrong?

hi
thanks for plugins
but When active license don’t save license and don’t enable auto update

the Refreshing page is not displayed license and the auto-update is disabled

error for active license

Unexpected Error! The query to retrieve the license data returned a malformed response.

Hello, thanks for great work on the fantastic plugin’s codebase.

Could you suggest me how to check for new updates as well as install them automatically?

Thanks!

Hello,

Great plugin, but how should it run on multisite please?

Thanks

Hi- Im using this for theme update.
I maybe not using it as designed- I have the plugin hosted on the same site where I am trying to update the theme. The plugin picks up the new version available from GitLab OK, and I can Update my theme- but I get the Update Failed: Download Failed. Service Unavailable error when trying to update the Theme.
Not sure how to debug this on the server side TBH.
Any ideas?

The release 11.5.1 of Gitlab (https://about.gitlab.com/2018/11/28/security-release-gitlab-11-dot-5-dot-1-released/) breaks the downloads from remote sources when using Gitlab.
Changing the code base to call the recommended method does not work because the API does not work as described in its documentation (format parameter not accepted).

I have implemented the integrations from the sample plugin to the main file of my plugin. I also followed the naming convention so that the plugin folder, main plugin file name, and repository slug all match.

When trying to “prime” the plugin from my bitbucket, all I get is that the repository could not be found.

I tried uploading the plugin directly using the file input. On the plugin page of my client side wordpress admin, there is a red notice that says “Could not determine if updates are available for blah blah”.

I try to “check for updates” from the client website where I uploaded a copy of the same plugin, “HTTP response code is 400 (expected: 200) puc_unexpected_response_code”

I tried for about 3 hours, re-committing my plugin to bitbucket making sure the file structure was correct. I checked to make sure that my consumer/secret keys were correct. I made sure that my oauth keys were authorized to read my repos.

Nothing worked.

Hi Alexandre.
Tinkering with your plugin at the moment. The plan is to enable auto-updates for our internal plugins, no licenses required. Thus on your plugin’s settings page in the tab “Packages licensing” the integration is deactivated. However, the plugin tells me “You are using a remote License server. Make sure to implement a filter for slm_ap_response_args on the remote server as described in wp-plugin-update-server/integration-examples/slm.php”.

Do I misunderstand something about that or is the message just being displayed by error?

Cheers
