403 error with WooCommerce

[davy440]

I want to include auto-update functionality for my WordPress Themes.
Since I am using WooCommerce, a link to a WooCommerce Upload does not work since the 'woocommerce_uploads' folder is secured and not publicly accessible.

The way out I found was uploading the file to a publicly accessible place but I don't want to compromise security. How should I go about it?

It sounds like you need a license manager. This update checker doesn't include anything like that, though it's generally extensible enough to integrate it with existing license management systems. I currently have an open issue asking for feedback on whether this library needs license management features and how that should work.

I personally haven't done license management with WooCommerce, but a quick search suggests that there are multiple options available, e.g. WooCommerce Software License (no affiliation). Maybe one of them would work for you?

Got it! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
