Plugin Description
This plugin provides an easy way to get involved with beta testing WordPress.
Once installed it will enable you to upgrade your website to the latest Nightly, Beta, or Release Candidate at the click of a button using the built in upgrader.
By default once enabled it switches your website onto the point release update channel.
For the more adventurous there is the option to switch to the bleeding edge (trunk) of development.
Don’t forget to backup before you start!
Please enable auto-updates for this plugin to ensure future changes are properly handled with core updates.
Extra Settings
There is a setting to Skip successful autoupdate emails. It functions to disable sending emails to the admin user for successful autoupdates. Only emails indicating failures of the autoupdate process are sent.
There is a setting to Hide the Report a Bug feature.
Report a Bug
This feature will hopefully promote the testing and reporting of issues to the appropriate location.
There is a Report a Bug admin menu item to directly take the user to the Report a Bug tab in WordPress Beta Tester. In the Report a Bug tab you can copy a bug report template for use in Trac or GitHub.
PRs are welcome on GitHub.
