Would you like to make sure WPForms updates successfully when running bulk updates through the WP Umbrella plugin? By default, WPForms may fail to update during WP Umbrella’s synchronization process.
In this guide, we’ll explain why this issue occurs and how you can fix it with a small snippet, ensuring WPForms updates correctly alongside your other plugins.
Why This Happens
When WP Umbrella runs bulk updates, it uses its own process to check for available plugin updates. During this process, the way updates are refreshed causes WPForms to miss its update check.
As a result, WPForms and its addons may not appear in the bulk update list, even though newer versions are available.
Adding the Fix
You can resolve this issue by forcing the WPForms updater to run during the WP Umbrella snapshot request. Add the following snippet to your site:
This snippet ensures WPForms’ updater is executed during the WP Umbrella snapshot process, so updates are properly recognized and applied.
Testing the Fix
- Connect your WordPress site(s) to WP Umbrella.
- Run a plugin synchronization or bulk update.
- Confirm that WPForms and its addons now update successfully along with your other plugins.
And that’s it! You’ve restored WP Umbrella compatibility so that WPForms updates smoothly during bulk updates. Would you like to explore more ways to customize plugin update behavior? Check out our developer documentation.
