Install and update packages

FluxWP Panel connects WordPress to the FluxWP update server. FluxWP packages appear alongside other plugins in the normal WordPress update screens.

Install and update#

Open FluxWP Panel → Packages and choose Install. Required dependencies are installed together. Update one or more packages from this screen, or use Dashboard → Updates. Automatic updates can be enabled in FluxWP Panel → Settings.

With Flux Backup installed, a backup is taken before updates. An HTTP 500 after an update triggers rollback. The package version menu lets you choose an available previous release; the history shows the versions and backup link.

Server and key#

Set the server URL in FluxWP Panel → Settings; the official server is https://updater.fluxwp.com. Public packages do not require a key. Private packages require a site key. Use Test connection to check the server and package counts.

Versions such as 1.3.0-beta.1 are available only to sites assigned to the beta channel in the server panel.

Troubleshooting#

• Could not resolve host: check the server address and DNS.
• Invalid site key: test the key in the server panel; recreate it if the site was removed.
• HTTP 502: check the GitHub token on the server.
• Missing release: check GitHub Actions, refresh packages on the server and purge LiteSpeed cache.
