Rudimentary Information allows you to grab information specifically for an individual theme or plugin by fetching data from the WordPress Themes API and Plugins API. This plugin is very simple yet easy to use by providing a valid slug and field to display a specific information. This plugin uses shortcode to display information.
<h4>Working with Themes</h4>
To display a specific theme, please use the following shortcode
[theme-info slug=’theme-slug’ field=’version’]
The slug is the name of the theme that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.
The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
<h4>Working with Plugins</h4>
To display a specific plugin, please use the following shortcode
[plugin-info slug=’plugin-slug’ field=’version’]
The slug is the name of the plugin that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information.
The following fields that are currently supported are as follow:
<ul>
<li>name</li>
<li>homepage</li>
<li>screenshot_url</li>
<li>preview_url</li>
<li>download_link</li>
<li>downloaded</li>
<li>last_updated</li>
<li>version</li>
</ul>
Now supports Meta Box and Widget, an extra feature that you don’t need to waste your time with shortcode but shortcodes will be avaiable if you need to grab small information from the API. For this new feature to work properly, you will need to set a theme slug or plugin slug in the Portfolio (Jetpack Portfolio) page. This will save the slug as part of the page and you can use the plugin info widget or theme info widget to display the specific theme. Displays Tags is also supported in its own Widget.

A simple plugin that gives you the flexibility to set whether you want individual plugins to update or not. This is something I find very useful on many of my sites. Some plugins have been edited by previous Developers and they cannot be updated. Other plugins on the same site still need to be updated. You can set this to update the ones that can be updated automatically and don’t need specific attention.
Choose whether you want the updater to update even though you are using a version control system such as SVN or git.
Users can set automatic updates:
<ul>
<li>For Major WordPress Releases</li>
<li>For Minor WordPress Releases</li>
<li>For Themes</li>
<li>For All Plugins</li>
<li>For Individual Plugins</li>
<li>Change notification email address.</li>
</ul>

L7 Automatic Updates

I use this on all the sites I develop.  It works great! I really like the individual plugin setting feature.  It allows me to select which plugins automatically update.  This is something that Advanced Automatic Updates does not allow you to do.



Great tool!

Set individual plugins, major and minor WordPress releases, themes and all plugins to automatically update.
