Updatepilot Update Log

Updatepilot Update Log is a WordPress plugin designed to record information about pending updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes. It addresses the need for tracking available updates by logging this data to a Google Sheet, helping site administrators maintain awareness of what components require updating. The plugin operates by reading live "update available" data from the same source as WordPress's update-core.php, ensuring that the information reflects the current state of the site. Users initiate the logging process manually by clicking a "Sync to Sheet" button; the plugin does not run automatically or on a schedule. When syncing, the plugin writes rows to a Google Sheet, organizing them into tabs named for the current month (for example, "Jun26" or "Aug26"). If a sync occurs in a new month, a new tab is created automatically. Should a plugin, theme, or core component have a new version available after an initial sync in the same month, the plugin updates the relevant row in place rather than duplicating it. Items whose available version has not changed are left untouched, allowing any checkboxes or notes in those rows to remain as set by the user. This tool is intended for WordPress site managers or administrators who want a clear, organized, and persistent record of pending updates, especially useful for tracking update status over time. The plugin requires manual action for each sync, providing control over when the log is updated. Updatepilot Update Log is delivered as a plugin installable from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory. It integrates with Google Sheets for storing update logs. Details about pricing or licensing are not specified in the available evidence.
