plugin updater detected

The plugin appears to include its own update or modification mechanism.

medium weight

Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found updater code or code that modifies plugin files outside the normal WordPress.org update flow.

Why It Matters

Custom update mechanisms can bypass repository review, surprise site owners, or change executable code after installation.

How to Fix

  • Remove custom updater code from WordPress.org releases when it is not needed.
  • Do not rewrite plugin source files at runtime.
  • If remote updates are intentional outside WordPress.org, document the trust model and protect it with strong validation.
