Automatic Theme Updater for Self-Hosted Themes

[Daniel]

Hi guys,

Just a general question, I'm considering putting in
https://github.com/jeremyclark13/automatic-theme-plugin-update to
handle updates for a theme that I can't host on WP.org (it's open
source but the way it work is the show stopper).

I'm just wondering if anyone here use it on a live server and if so
are there any security issues that I should be aware of?

Thank-you,
Daniel


PS, this is what I'm working on:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=2208986 but it
does have a theme that is required to be installed on wordpress in
order for everything to work.

i use wp-updates.com which is great, you can signup for an account to get
1 free plugin or theme.

a lot of premium products use this for updates.

just an alternative solution.

Hi there,

Thank-you for the link, I will check wp-updates out, I was thinking of
doing everything myself so that I don't need to worry about relying on
a external service going down but I won't say no for any ideas that
someone may have :)

GIthub: that won't work as it a theme that I'm working on.

Thank-you :)
