Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Version Pilot - Plugin Update Manager
No. That is the main advantage. Your users do not need to install any extra plugins. The update logic is bundled within your own plugin.
Yes. All communication should be over HTTPS (which you must configure on your server). Furthermore, WordPress itself performs validations on the update package before installation. Version Pilot simply informs WordPress where to get the update.
No. The update check leverages WordPress's built-in transient API. WordPress only checks for updates twice a day (every 12 hours), so the impact on performance is negligible.
This new feature allows you to set compatibility requirements for updates. For example, if you release version 3.0.0 that requires users to be on at least version 2.5.0, you can set this requirement. Users on older versions won't see this update until they manually update to an intermediate version first.
Yes! Version Pilot includes built-in authentication support. You can hook into the version_pilot_update_verify filter to implement license verification or other access control mechanisms.
