WordPress Plugin Update Checker
===============================

[](#wordpress-plugin-update-checker)

This plugin offers custom plugins the feature to update like plugins hosted on wordpress.org. lugins hosted on wordpress.org doesn't need updation manually since WordPress provides automatic updates of all the plugins hosted on wordpress.org via the WordPress backend.

To update a plugin installed from the wordpress codex the user has to navigate to the plugins admin page and click on the update link to update the plugin to it's latest version, that easy it is, but unfortunately there is nothing out of the box for custom plugin developers to update their plugins automatically via the WordPress plugins admin page. This class will solve that issue by providing the automatic update feature to update the plugin from the plugin authors external servers.
