Important UltimateWoo Update – Version 0.4.0

Just yesterday, we installed SSL on UltimateWoo.com. As a result of moving to an encrypted connection, we released version 0.4.0 of the UltimateWoo plugin. If you are running a version lower than that, you will likely encounter a lack of update notices from your WordPress dashboard. The reason for this is because the plugin checks for updates using a non-SSL URL (http://) rather than an SSL’d URL (https://). To fix this, you have two options:

Modify a Plugin File

While you should never modify the core UltimateWoo plugin, this case presents one exception. The first option is the quickest and easiest if you’re comfortable with doing it. Navigate to the main plugin folder and under the /updater directory, there is a file called ultimatewoo_updater.php. At the top of that file, on line 9, you’ll see the following code:

define( 'ULTIMATEWOO_STORE_URL', 'http://www.ultimatewoo.com' );

To re-enable update detection, replace that line with this:

define( 'ULTIMATEWOO_STORE_URL', 'https://www.ultimatewoo.com' );

That’s all. You should pick up the update momentarily and will be able to download the latest version.

Alternatives

If you are not comfortable with modifying the code, you can either submit a support ticket for us to do it or just download the updated version of UltimateWoo from your account page and update manually.

Let Us Know

If anyone experiences bugs on the site now that we’ve switched to an encrypted connection, please let us know.

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to be an UltimateWoo customer!
