Updates

New in v6

Learn how Bootscore and its plugins manage automated updates, and how to disable updates when customizing core theme or plugins.

Contents

Auto updates

Bootscore (except the child theme) and all plugins use the plugin-update-checker from Yanis Elsts to provide automated updates in the backend. If you have worked on the core files, your work will be lost with the next update. Use the provided bootscore-child theme to edit the theme without the risk of losing your modifications. For plugins, use filters or template overrides.

In case of an important update, we’ll publish a blog post with update instructions and inform you via Twitter. Changelog can be found in the release section.

Disable updates

If you want to use the theme/plugins as a boilerplate to create your own framework, it is mandatory to remove automated updates to work on the code files safely. You will find something like this in Bootscore’s functions.php file and in the main.php files of plugins:

/**
 * Update Checker
 * https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker
 */
require 'inc/update/plugin-update-checker.php';
use YahnisElsts\PluginUpdateChecker\v5\PucFactory;

$myUpdateChecker = PucFactory::buildUpdateChecker(
	'https://github.com/bootscore/bootscore/',
	__FILE__,
	'bootscore'
);

// Set the branch that contains the stable release.
$myUpdateChecker->setBranch('main');

Delete it. After this snippet has been deleted, the inc/update folder in the theme and the update folder in the plugin’s root directory can be safely removed.
