UpdaWa gives you a single place to see everything that needs attention on a WordPress site: pending core, plugin, and theme updates plus the SSL certificate expiry — all visible in the admin panel and exposed through a secure REST API endpoint you can poll from any monitoring tool.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>REST API — <code>GET /wp-json/updawa/v1/status</code> returns a full JSON snapshot protected by a per-site Bearer token.</li>
<li>Status dashboard — stat cards showing pending update counts, plugin/theme totals, and SSL days remaining at a glance.</li>
<li>WordPress Core, SSL, Plugins & Themes — each section in its own card with colour-coded badges (up to date / update available / expiring / expired).</li>
<li>SSL certificate monitoring — connects to your site’s HTTPS endpoint and reports the certificate expiry date and days remaining.</li>
<li>Bearer token management — generate, copy, or revoke the 256-bit cryptographically random token from the Token API tab.</li>
<li>QR code — encodes site name, API URL, and token for instant import into a mobile monitoring app.</li>
<li>Android app (coming soon) — a dedicated mobile app for monitoring update and SSL status across multiple WordPress sites, with push notifications when updates are available or certificates are about to expire.</li>
<li>JSON view — pretty-printed full API payload with a one-click Copy button.</li>
<li>Zero external dependencies — the QR code library is bundled; no data is sent to external servers.</li>
</ul>
<h3>REST API</h3>
The endpoint is read-only and requires a valid Bearer token:
<pre><code>curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
 https://example.com/wp-json/updawa/v1/status
</code></pre>
Example response:
<pre><code>{
 "generated_at": "2026-04-14T09:10:41+00:00",
 "wordpress": {
 "current_version": "6.9.4",
 "update_available": false,
 "new_version": null,
 "package_url": null
 },
 "plugins": [ ... ],
 "themes": [ ... ],
 "ssl_expires_at": "2026-07-05T01:48:00+00:00"
}
</code></pre>

Disables the default notification emails sent by a site after an automatic theme and/or plugin update. Simply activate the plugin to disable these email notifications (allows failure notices through unless setting is enabled to disable these as well).
This is a simple & lightweight plugin that simply uses the official filters made available as of WordPress 5.5 to disable these email notifications upon activation. It does let update failure notifications through by default, but the Settings => General page has a setting to disable these as well.
