Updater Pro

Coordinate WordPress updates and safeguards

Updater Pro manages update checks and updates for WordPress core, extensions, themes, and translations. Choose manual mode to start updates yourself or automatic mode to execute them according to a configured frequency. Settings are designed for setup without code changes or FTP access.

Updater Pro includes the free version’s features along with controls for automatic update exclusions, backups, Envato products, and WordPress core auto updates.

Set the update scope and schedule

Select which update types to search for and update, then set how often checks and updates run. Manual mode leaves update actions under your control; automatic mode follows the configured schedule.

• Exclude selected extensions and themes from automatic updates, including inactive ones.
• Disable WordPress core automatic updates when needed.
• Update products purchased on Envato.

Back up before updating

Configure database and file backups to run before updates are applied. Backup options include all folders and all tables. You can also enable automatic deletion of old backups to prevent them from accumulating.

Configure email notices

Set a recipient address and customize the “FROM” field for notices about available versions and completed updates. The plugin sends update notifications when updates are available. Scheduled checks, updates, and email sending run when the website is active, so work may occur on the first visit after a period of inactivity rather than at the configured time.

Email delivery depends on the WordPress site and server configuration. If messages do not arrive, check the plugin’s notification options and the site’s email setup; an SMTP plugin may be needed.

Run an update cycle

1. Choose manual or automatic update mode.
2. Select which update types to search for and configure their frequency.
3. Set notification recipients and sender details.
4. Exclude selected or inactive plugins and themes as needed.
5. Choose backup entries and enable automatic deletion of old backups if required.
6. Review update results through the configured notification workflow.

Install and maintain the plugin

Upload the plugin folder to the WordPress plugins directory, activate it from the Plugins menu, then open Updater under Settings to configure the update workflow. Documentation and installation videos are available to guide setup. Updater Pro is multilingual and RTL ready. Listed translations include Russian, Ukrainian, French, Italian, Arabic, German, and Spanish; some may be incomplete.
