<p>Version Pilot offers a decentralized and seamless update solution for WordPress plugin developers who host their plugins outside the official repository. It perfectly mimics the native WordPress update experience without relying on a central server.</p>
<p>This solution consists of two parts:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Author-side Plugin (“Version Pilot”)</strong>: You install this plugin on your own WordPress site. It provides a clean interface to manage all your plugins’ update information. This information is then exposed via a secure REST API endpoint.</li>
<li><strong>Client-side Integration Code</strong>: A lightweight PHP snippet that you, the developer, embed in your distributed plugins. This code uses WordPress’s built-in hooks to periodically check your Version Pilot API for updates. When a new version is detected, it integrates seamlessly into the standard WordPress update system, allowing your users to update with a single click from their admin dashboard, just like any official plugin.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong><br />
* <strong>Plugin-Centric Workflow</strong>: First, add your plugin’s core information. Then, add multiple versions to that plugin. This is more intuitive and reduces data redundancy.<br />
* <strong>Advanced Version Management</strong>: Set minimum client version requirements for updates, ensuring compatibility and preventing problematic downgrades.<br />
* <strong>Intelligent Version Matching</strong>: Smart logic to serve the most appropriate update based on client version and requirements.<br />
* <strong>Authentication Support</strong>: Built-in support for license verification and access control mechanisms.<br />
* <strong>Dedicated Versions List</strong>: A complete history of all releases across all your plugins with advanced filtering options.<br />
* <strong>AJAX-Powered UI</strong>: Enable or disable updates directly from the versions list with a single click, no page reload needed.<br />
* <strong>Streamlined Process</strong>: The “Add New Version” screen is simplified, automatically linking to its parent plugin and requiring only version-specific details.<br />
* <strong>Modern Codebase</strong>: Fully refactored for better performance, security, and adherence to modern WordPress best practices.</p>
