20263 releases

  1. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.22Latest

    • FIX: Delayed plugin updates now stay in the list when the WordPress updates cron runs outside the user’s scheduled automatic-update time, ensuring updates remain scheduled based on their initial first-time occurrence.
    • TWEAK: Updated some affected code fragments to satisfy the WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended PHPCS rule.

  2. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.21

    • SECURITY: Fix a non-persistent reflected XSS vulnerability due to a missing validation and output escaping on the “paged” URL argument. This could allow an attacker, who persuaded you to click a personally-crafted link to your site’s dashboard whilst you were logged in, to once run harmful JavaScri…
    • TWEAK: Improved the delay updates feature to record the timestamp of the first occurrence of available plugin, theme, or core updates early, when their associated transient option is updated.
    • TWEAK: Corrected improper usage of esc_html_e() when preceded by echo
    • TWEAK: Added missing direct file access protection check for ‘ABSPATH’ to prevent unauthorized access.
    • TWEAK: Get rid of the “implicitly marking parameter $logger as nullable is deprecated” deprecation warning
    • TWEAK: Suppress false positive WordPress.WP.I18n.TextDomainMismatch warning due to different plugin slugs in free and premium versions.

  3. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.20

    • REFACTOR: Safeguard the calls to PHP’s unserialize() function by specifying the “allow_classes” parameter to false to prevent code from being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and autoloading
    • TWEAK: Early processing of external update logs is necessary to resolve the issue of the shutdown function being left out when a severe error happens during an auto/manual update through WP-CLI
    • TWEAK: Enhance the notifications to signify the introduction of other plugins that belong to the same plugin family and to align with the new branding/links
    • TWEAK: Ensure all translation functions are called during the WordPress “init” action or later. Invoking translation functions before the “init” action would have led to no translations being loaded, resulting in the original text being returned.
    • TWEAK: Sanitize the list of days setting that is used for scheduling auto-update cron event
    • TWEAK: Remove seasonal (new year, summer, spring and plugin collection) sale notices

20251 release

  1. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.19

    • FIX: Misreporting of plugin’s update statuses in notification emails, which were labeled “success” instead of the appropriate designation of “failed”
    • TWEAK: Improve the strategy for using an associative array to filter option default values, aiming to safeguard existing defaults from removal and to prevent the introduction of non-relevant options
    • TWEAK: The notification email should omit any “failed” update status for plugins, themes and translations if they lack the corresponding name and/or version number
    • TWEAK: Improve updates-check anonymisation and randomisation, stripping out further unnecessary data
    • TWEAK: Replace unnecessary calls to maybe_unserialize()

20242 releases

  1. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.18

    • FIX: Couldn’t reactivate plugins due to plugin dependency issues (Premium)
    • TWEAK: Allow auto-updates event from other plugins to take place only if it’s in the same exact schedule with the auto-updates scheduling feature
    • TWEAK: Auto-updates should always run at the actual time the user has set it to be and prevent auto-updates event that runs outside the auto-updates scheduling feature
    • TWEAK: Fixed spelling errors in the repo
    • TWEAK: Force automatic updates can now be performed without the user being given full update capabilities. Prior to this, in order to successfully force the automatic updates the user had to have core, plugin and theme capabilities
    • TWEAK: Force automatic updates should be independent and should not depend on the user-defined settings which can lead to the auto-updates itself being failed
    • TWEAK: Split multiple sentences into separate translation calls.
    • TWEAK: Update the composer package yahnis-elsts/plugin-update-checker for PHP 8.2 compatibility
    • TWEAK: Plugin reactivations are now carried out in a specific sequence, with plugins lacking dependencies being reactivated first, followed by those with dependencies (Premium)

  2. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.17

  2. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.15

    • TWEAK: Improve MPSUM_Logs::normalise_call_stack_args() method to reduce the size of call stacks being stored in the database, also to prevent silent termination due to size of the call stacks that swell
    • TWEAK: Get rid of PHP 8.1+’s “automatic conversion of false to array is deprecated” message when first time activating the plugin
    • TWEAK: Add a user capabilities check when receiving a request through the wp_ajax_eum_ajax handler
    • TWEAK: Prevent PHP8+ ErrorException and/or suppress PHP notice/warning for undefined stdClass::$plugin and/or stdClass::$theme variables during auto-updates (this usually happens due to the plugin or theme doesn’t follow WordPress standards)
    • TWEAK: Remove notices regarding WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE and AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED constants from force automatic updates screen as they now won’t prevent automatic updates from being run
    • TWEAK: Get rid of PHP deprecated message on PHP 8.1+ when presenting admin constant notices by removing sprintf() function that shouldn’t had wrapped the esc_html_e() function
    • TWEAK: All updates settings should be compatible and compliant with WordPress Site Health
    • TWEAK: Prevent making a nonce available to logged-in users who could not manage Easy Updates Manager (no impact as all actions (dismissal of notices) were unreachable without proper user capability)

    • FIX: Some fields were not cleared when switching from one auto-update schedule time to another

  3. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.14

    • FIX: Core minor updates became major when two updates-related scheduled events got triggered in the same process
    • FIX: In some cases the serialisation of call stack could cause a PHP fatal error due to the output of a backtrace (debug_backtrace) containing ‘Closure’ (anonymous) functions
    • TWEAK: Update notice class

20222 releases

  1. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.13

    • TWEAK: Update logs are sent separately causing a huge number of emails being sent to the user (Premium)
    • TWEAK: Override potential constants and filters that might be used by other plugins for disabling WordPress automatic updater

    • FIX: The logs option/setting got stuck in ‘off’ value when upgrading from old versions (prior to 8.1.0) to the recent versions
    • FIX: When plugin notification emails setting is disabled but core notification setting is enabled, the user would still receive a notification email regarding plugin updates

    • FIX: ‘0.00’ version numbers were logged when upgrading plugins and/or theme, at the same time the information about core update wasn’t presented in the logs table, some warnings and WordPress database errors were logged in the PHP error log file too

    • FIX: Change the order (priority) of auto_update_plugin/theme filters to make the ‘Safe Mode’ feature (Premium) work properly
    • TWEAK: Improve the way errors are handled before and after a plugin activation takes place (deactivated plugins must be reactivated immediately regardless of whether or not the plugins contain a fatal error)
    • TWEAK: Change use of ‘$’ to local/function scope, to prevent conflicts

  2. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.10

    • FIX: Inconsistent behaviour of the ‘manually update’ option of the plugin updates setting (it updated plugins to their major/minor version that shouldn’t have happened)

20205 releases

  1. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.6

    • FIX: Fatal error in a template file

  2. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.5

    • TWEAK: Some minor code improvements based on PHPCS analysis
    • TWEAK: Updated seasonal notices
    • TWEAK: Add WP 5.5 support. Since EUM’s update management facilities are much more sophisticated than WP 5.5’s new “automatic upgrades” user-interface additions, the new WP 5.5 options do not map simply onto existing EUM options. Thus the only way they can work together is if EUM replaces those addi…

  3. Easy Updates Manager 9.0.3

    • TWEAK: Update class Updraftplus_Notices
    • TWEAK: Update WP-Optimize notices
    • TWEAK: Updater will now make checks on availability without needing login

    • FIX: Prevent Force Updates from deactivating plugins.
    • FIX: (Premium feature) UpdraftPlus will now take a backup during an auto-update
    • FIX: (Premium feature) Fix cron schedules so they are run at the correct time.

20195 releases

  1. Easy Updates Manager 8.2.0

    • FEATURE: (Premium) Safe mode now checks themes for compatibility.

    • FIX: Delayed updates were delaying automatic updates to WordPress core when no delay was requested
    • TWEAK: Divi theme can now be auto-upgraded.
    • TWEAK: Bump required WP version from 4.6 to 4.7. We’ve not introduced anything to make it incompatible so it will likely still work; but this is the support requirement.

  2. Easy Updates Manager 8.1.1

    • FIX: Fixed uninstall script error when deleting the plugin.

  3. Easy Updates Manager 8.1.0

    • FEATURE: Notes section added to log to show why an automatic update failed.

    • TWEAK: Adding dashboard notice if automatic updates are disabled through constants.
    • TWEAK: Prevent unnecessary PHP notice when controlling via UpdraftCentral
    • TWEAK: Database logging is now always turned on, to aid troubleshooting. (The storage overhead is tiny, since updates are infrequent events compared with other things going on in a WP database).
    • TWEAK: Update updater class to latest series (1.8)
    • TWEAK: Automatic update emails are only sent once every twenty four hours.

  4. Easy Updates Manager 8.0.5

    • SECURITY: Correct an erroneous nonce (intent) check. The impact of this is that a logged-in user with access to the WP dashboard was able to change some (but not all, as some were protected by further checks) options (e.g. disable unattended theme updates).

    • TWEAK: Preview the premium features in the advanced tab
