WP checks for updates by sending data about all plugins and themes to the repository. To prevent false update messages for your own code you need to selectively scrub it out of those requests. The example for theme by Mark Jaquith: function cws_hidden_theme_12345( $r, $url ) { if ( 0 !== strpos( $url, ‘http://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check’ ) … Read more
Take a look at the AJAX documentation, there are plenty of examples on this site and across the Googles to trigger a server event without refreshing the page. In this case, WP is listening to an AJAX call that looks like http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpse20160318_batch_update. When triggered, it’ll run through your batch process an output a JSON message … Read more
TLDR: That paragraph is incorrect. So How Does WordPress Handle Permissions For Auto-Update? WordPress runs as the user that PHP runs as, which on most servers is some form of www user. It uses that user to perform the update. If that user cannot write to those files, it falls back to other WP_Filesystem providers. … Read more
Sure, just upload them to their directories with ftp. After all, updating themes is not much more than copying the files. If you update the active theme in this way, some unexpected results may occur for pages that are generated halway the uploading, part by the old theme, part by the new theme.

All the Emails WordPress or Plugins send out are sent to the admin_mail, which is returned by get_option( ‘admin_mail’ ), and this Emailadress is not always connected to a user. If you first install WordPress, the first user created gets the role administrator, and … Read more
If the theme slug matches, but you have no version number in the style.css file (even if Name is missing too), it will always try to update that theme. The easiest way to prevent this is to add a Version in the style.css header and set it to a really high number that is unlikely … Read more
Try flushing out the transient data(options prefixed with _site_transient_update_ – wp_options table), WP will recreate them for you anyway. Not always a solution but tends to work for me when i have that problem. You can do this by adding the following lines to your current theme’s functions.php (in wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/functions.php). delete_option( ‘_site_transient_update_core’ ); delete_option( ‘_site_transient_update_themes’ … Read more
Visit /wp-admin/upgrade.php on each site to manually upgrade the database e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php This happens if you have a site on the WordPress network that doesn’t resolve or if you have spoofed DNS locally but not on the server – your computer knows that www.example.com points at 127.0.0.1 but your local server is still resolving www.example.com … Read more

WordPress can use other methods (streams and fsockopen) as a fallback, but these may be disabled by default as well in a stock install. Curl is preferred and easy to enable. Close WAMP Go your the \bin\php\version … Read more
