Updates are done via the usual WordPress plugin update mechanisms, using YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker to get the updates from GitHub for this plugin instead. Here's how to release a new version.
- Bump the version in the plugin header in
10up-experience.php
. - Head to releases and Draft a new release.
- Assuming release from
trunk
, enter a tag name (e.g.v1.1
), enter a title (e.g.1.1 Update
), and enter a description/changelog in the theDescribe this release
textarea. This description will be shown as the changelog in the WordPress admin if the user views details of the update. - Publish the release.
- Check a local install to ensure it's getting the update and can update successfully. It's recommended that you not use your development install since the plugin directory gets replaced, but rather use another install. If necessary, lower the version number in your local plugin header and do a manual check for updates from the plugins list table.
- Engage site update processes as necessary.
