  • AFAIK the filters you need to check for an update are:

    pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins
    pre_set_transient_update_plugins

    and the attached function would probably use wp_remote_post to interrogate your repository server and return if the plugin needs updating.

    The other filter is:

    plugins_api

    which again could use wp_remote_post to get the new ZIP file.

    That should get you started whilst you are looking at the core code.

    Thanks for you help,

    it really did worked for me but when I click on update now this error appears

    The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    I’m guessing but sounds like the ZIP file is malformed.

    I forgot to suggest before, but Googling pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins gives a couple of working examples as the first few results.

    I have solved the package issue but after that

    Downloading update from https://localhost/playernew/player_updates/update.php…

    Unpacking the update…

    Installing the latest version…

    Removing the old version of the plugin…

    Could not remove the old plugin.

    Plugin update failed.

    but when i go to plugins page my plugin is removed but new version not installed
