Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes forces WordPress to run a theme and plugin update check whenever you visit the WordPress updates page (<code>/wp-admin/update-core.php</code>).
Force Update Check Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatic checks (no need to click the “check again” button)</li>
<li>No configurations or settings page</li>
<li>Eliminates action for developer or QA</li>
<li>Get new features and security patches faster</li>
</ul>
How it works
By default, WordPress checks for updates approximately every 12 hours. This plugin clears the theme/plugin updates cache and triggers a new update check each time the updates page is visited.
When activated on your site it runs automatically and has no configurations page or settings to worry about. Each time you visit the updates page WordPress will run a new check.
Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes is specifically a plugin and theme check and will not force a WordPress core update check.
Third-party plugins and themes that do not update from the WordPress.org repository may not be cleared by the Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes plugin. If the plugin or theme does not update via the WordPress.org repository, and forcing an update check with this plugin does not work, check with your plugin or theme developer for a force check option.

This is a very simple dashboard widget that will load every time your dashboard loads. It will submit your feed to an online feed validator, grab the response and update your dashboard with the results.
It’s best to know immediately that your RSS feed is invalid. Sites such as Bloglovin’ and Google Reader will not add your posts to their sites if your RSS feed is invalid. Knowing there is an issue is the first step in resolving the issue!
Most invalid RSS feeds are caused by some html you’ve used in your post. This widget is not intended to fix your feed, it is just a notification that there may be an issue with your feed.
This plugin requires cURL to work. cURL is a php library that allows HTTP requests to be sent. This is a core feature of the plugin. The good news is, most online hosting providers have cURL setup and installed for you already. If you install this and the widget displays an error of some sort, you probably have an issue with cURL.

RSS Feed Checker

This widget will submit your wordpress RSS feed to feedvalidator.org, and check the results to verify your feed is valid.
