Breaking Plugin Update Check

    Ok, it is not breaking per say, the plugin update checks do occur, but very, very, very frequently.

    Please update both instances of EDD_SL_Plugin_Updater.php in:

    • \ninja-forms\includes\Integrations\EDD
    • \ninja-forms\deprecated\includes

    These older versions of the library use current_time( 'timestamp' ) instead of time() when setting the last_checked property.

    The usage of current_time( 'timestamp' ) in most cases will always be greater than the timeout value which causes plugin update checks to occur on every call to set_site_transient( 'update_plugins', $transient ) basically every time WP Cron is run which depending on the site can be frequently.

    I know this bug was corrected in version 1.6.17 of the library released around Aug/Sept of last year. The current released version is either 1.6.18 or 1.6.19. The later exists, unsure if it is released.

    It would be great if you could release an update addressing this asap since it affects so many sites. fyi, it affects my sites even though I do not have any Ninja Forms premium addons.
