Colorlib updates This host answers update checks for Colorlib WordPress themes and plugins that are distributed outside WordPress.org, using the Update URI mechanism WordPress added in 6.1. GET /theme/{slug}.json GET /plugin/{slug}.json Your site sends, and this host stores: the product and version installed, your WordPress and PHP versions, your locale, whether the install is multisite, and a site identifier. That identifier is a one-way hash of your home URL salted with your own install's AUTH_SALT — it is stable for your site and cannot be turned back into a URL here. No IP address, site name, e-mail address or personal data is sent or stored. It exists so that a count of installs is a count of sites rather than a count of requests. GET /package/{theme|plugin}/{slug}/{version}.zip The update package itself is served through this host as a redirect to the zip, so the number of updates downloaded can be counted. That count is a per-day tally per version; nothing about the site that downloaded it is stored. Theme downloads through /download/ are counted the same way, split into people and bots. The split is made from the request's headers at the moment it arrives, and only the resulting label (for example "Browser" or "Google") is stored; the user agent and IP address are not. Themes can switch the whole thing off with the unapp_check_for_updates filter, which also switches off update notifications — there is no way to be told about a release without asking for it.
