GPLlib Connector

Updates that come to you.

A lightweight WordPress plugin that connects your site directly to the GPLlib catalog. The moment a new version ships, it shows up under "Dashboard → Updates" just like an official plugin — no more manually downloading, uploading, or unzipping.

Three Steps

Everything connected, in five minutes.

01

Install the Connector Plugin

Download the latest zip from GitHub, or grab the distribution package from your dashboard, then upload and activate it like any other plugin. No external dependencies required.

02

Paste Your License Key

Generate your license key under "Dashboard → Auto-Updates" and enter it on the plugin settings page. The key represents your membership and which resources you can update.

03

Let It Run

Your site handshakes with the catalog in the background right away. From then on, every upstream release shows up in WordPress's native Updates list — one click to upgrade, just like an official plugin.

Why Use It

Leave the tedious hauling to the plugin.

Built for developers maintaining multiple client sites — less manual work, tighter control over licensing, fully open source and transparent.

Native Update Experience

Update prompts plug straight into WordPress's own update mechanism, appearing under "Dashboard → Updates" and in the plugins list. One click upgrades — no need to leave the admin area.

License Key Site Binding

One license key can bind multiple sites under your account, subject to your plan's site limit. View bound sites, unbind them, or reset the key anytime from your dashboard.

Site Tokens With Expiration

Each bound site gets its own token with an optional expiration date. If a token leaks or a site is retired, revoke it individually without affecting the others.

MIT Open Source

The plugin's code is fully public on GitHub under the MIT license. Audit every line, modify it yourself, or integrate it into your own deployment pipeline — no black boxes.

Only What You Need, Clear Quotas

It only pulls resources you're entitled to update, and quota counts match your plan. Hitting the limit shows a clear message — it never fails silently or downloads beyond your permissions.

Human Verification Against Abuse

Browser-side write actions go through Cloudflare Turnstile, and license keys and tokens are protected end to end against scraping and abuse, keeping your membership quota safe.

What's the Difference

Configure once, never repeat the work again.

  • All bound sites are visible in one place in your dashboard

FAQ

Connector, questions you may have.

The plugin itself is completely free and open source (MIT licensed). It's just a connector — which resources you can update and how many sites you can bind depends on your GPLlib membership plan.
The number of sites is determined by your plan's site limit. Check your used/max count anytime under "Dashboard → Auto-Updates," and unbind sites you no longer use to free up slots.
Just click "Reset License Key" in your dashboard — the old key and every site token it issued become invalid immediately, and previously bound sites will need to reconnect with the new key. Individual site tokens can also be revoked on their own.
No. Connector just feeds catalog update info into WordPress's native update flow — the actual upgrade is still performed by WordPress itself, exactly like clicking "Update" normally.
The plugin is compatible with mainstream WordPress versions and has no special server requirements. See the README and Releases in the GitHub repo for detailed compatibility notes and change history.

Let your site keep itself up to date.

Install the plugin, paste your license key, and let Connector handle the rest. Open source, secure, and as smooth as an official update.
