<p>UpdateGuard – Safe Auto Updates, Semantic Version Control and Update Manager provides intelligent automatic updates for WordPress plugins, themes, and core using semantic versioning principles. Unlike WordPress’s default auto-update system that updates to any available version, this plugin gives you granular control over update types.</p>
<p><strong>Perfect for:</strong><br />
* WordPress site administrators who want automatic security updates without breaking changes<br />
* Developers managing multiple WordPress sites<br />
* Businesses requiring stable, secure WordPress installations<br />
* Agencies maintaining dozens of client websites<br />
* Anyone who wants to prevent major version updates from breaking their site</p>
<p><strong>Why Use UpdateGuard – Safe Auto Updates, Semantic Version Control and Update Manager?</strong><br />
WordPress’s built-in auto-update feature applies ALL updates automatically, including major version changes that can break your site. UpdateGuard – Safe Auto Updates, Semantic Version Control and Update Manager lets you:<br />
* Automatically install security patches and minor updates<br />
* Block major version updates that might break compatibility<br />
* Configure update policies per plugin or globally<br />
* Get email notifications about updates<br />
* Track all update activity with comprehensive logs<br />
* Manually test and trigger updates on demand<br />
* Block both auto and manual updates that violate your policy</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Semantic Versioning Support</strong> – Automatically detects major.minor.patch version numbers and categorizes every pending update</li>
<li><strong>Selective Update Control</strong> – Choose to allow only minor and patch updates while blocking major version changes</li>
<li><strong>4-Level Update Policy</strong> – Set each plugin to Major, Minor, Patch, or Hold (block all updates entirely)</li>
<li><strong>Per-Plugin Configuration</strong> – Set individual update levels for each plugin in a compact, sortable table, or use a global default</li>
<li><strong>Safe Update Strategy</strong> – Prevents breaking changes from major version updates</li>
<li><strong>Manual & Auto Update Blocking</strong> – UpdateGuard blocks not only auto-updates but also manual/bulk updates from the Plugins page that violate your policy</li>
<li><strong>Test Update Workflow</strong> – One-click “Check and Update Plugins Now” button lets you immediately trigger bulk updates using a separate test update level, independent from your global policy</li>
<li><strong>Comprehensive Logging</strong> – Track all completed plugin updates with plugin names, version changes, and timestamps. Log retention is configurable</li>
<li><strong>Email Notifications</strong> – Get notified about applied automatic updates, blocked/manual-only updates, and new pending updates. Emails include changelog links for each plugin</li>
<li><strong>Pending Updates Dashboard</strong> – View all pending updates at a glance, color-coded: green for updates that will be applied automatically and red for updates blocked by your policy</li>
<li><strong>Full Multisite / Network Support</strong> – Network-wide settings, network admin menu, and proper permission checks</li>
<li><strong>Theme Auto-Updates</strong> – Enable or disable automatic updates for all installed themes with a single checkbox</li>
<li><strong>Translation Auto-Updates</strong> – Enable or disable automatic updates for all translation files with a single checkbox</li>
<li><strong>Lock Settings</strong> – Administrators can lock the settings page to prevent other users from changing the update policy</li>
<li><strong>Custom Admin Email</strong> – Send update notifications to any email address, not just the default admin email</li>
<li><strong>Clean Uninstall</strong> – All plugin options are cleanly removed from the database on uninstall</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight & Fast</strong> – No external API calls, no bloat, fast batch processing</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
<p>The plugin uses semantic versioning (semver) to categorize updates:<br />
* <strong>Major updates</strong> (e.g., 3.0.0 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 4.0.0) – Breaking changes, blocked by default<br />
* <strong>Minor updates</strong> (e.g., 3.1.0 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 3.2.0) – New features, backwards compatible<br />
* <strong>Patch updates</strong> (e.g., 3.1.1 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 3.1.2) – Bug fixes and security patches<br />
* <strong>Hold</strong> – Block all updates for a specific plugin</p>
<p>You can configure the plugin to automatically apply only minor and patch updates while requiring manual review for major version changes, ensuring your site stays updated with security fixes while avoiding potentially breaking changes.</p>
<p><strong>How UpdateGuard Protects Your Site:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>When WordPress checks for updates (every 12 hours), UpdateGuard intercepts the update check.</li>
<li>It compares the installed version with the available version and determines the update level (major, minor, or patch).</li>
<li>If the update level exceeds your configured policy, the update is blocked — both for automatic updates AND for manual/bulk updates from the Plugins page.</li>
<li>Allowed updates proceed normally, and the plugin logs the update with timestamp and version details.</li>
<li>Email notifications are sent to your configured address with a summary of applied, blocked, and pending updates.</li>
</ol>
