WordPress 5.8 introduced a new Update URI header/ This should prevent WordPress from mistakenly downloading an update from WordPress.org when the plugin is not originated from wp.org, and therefore end up overriding the plugin with a different one.

Our WordPress SDK prevents such a situation from happening. Still, if the plugin is deactivated (i.e. the SDK is not executed as part of the updates logic), this problem can occur.

I’m happy to share that Freemius’s deployment mechanism now officially supports the Update URI header and works as follows:

1. Add (or override) the Update URI header for paid versions with https://api.freemius.com to prevent the problem.
2. If the Update URI header was already added before deployment to Freemius, it will be stripped from the free version when pointing to freemius.com. This is because we don’t support updates of free products, and also because we want to make sure that wp.org updates will work as expected.
3. For now, if there’s a custom Update URI header that is pointing elsewhere (not to freemius.com) keep it as is in the free plugin version, assuming you had a good reason to custom set it.

You can now search affiliates based on name, email, affiliate ID, or user ID:

We now support adding custom terms and conditions that will be integrated into the EULA. This feature is available only to the Multi Store Developer Dashboard.

To get started please go to your Store -> Settings. There you’ll find the new settings under Terms & Conditions textbox.

Once you’ve entered a valid URL and saved it, you will find the links show up on your product’s EULA pages.
