This plugin clears the theme\/plugin updates cache and triggers a new update check each time the updates page is visited.<\/p>\n\n<p>When activated on your site it runs automatically and has no configurations page or settings to worry about. Each time you visit the updates page WordPress will run a new check.<\/p>\n\n<p>Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes is specifically a plugin and theme check and will not force a WordPress core update check.<\/p>\n\n<p>Third-party plugins and themes that do not update from the WordPress.org repository may not be cleared by the Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes plugin. If the plugin or theme does not update via the WordPress.org repository, and forcing an update check with this plugin does not work, check with your plugin or theme developer for a force check option.<\/p>\n\nLooking for more simple developer tools?\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wpzone.co\/\" title=\"WP Zone\">WP Zone<\/a> has built a whole bunch of add-ons, services, plugins and themes and are committed to quality code that follows WordPress best practices.
