详情介绍:
PatchOn is a SaaS service that automatically runs regression tests (VRT: Visual Regression Test) in a staging environment before applying plugin, theme, or core updates to your WordPress site. This plugin acts as the connector between your WordPress site and the PatchOn SaaS backend at patchon.jp.
This plugin requires the PatchOn SaaS service at patchon.jp and does not function on its own. No account is required to get started. Immediately after activation no external communication is performed, and a consent screen is shown in the admin area. Outbound communication with patchon.jp begins only after the user explicitly clicks the "Agree and Start" button on that consent screen, which registers the site anonymously. A patchon.jp account is needed only to view detailed inspection results in the dashboard or to upgrade to a paid plan.
Main Features
- Backup of site files and database before applying updates
- Pre-inspection that simulates updates in a staging environment, with results displayed in your dashboard
- Production rollout of updates that have passed inspection
wp-content, mu-plugins, theme directories, etc.). AI auto-repair, which involves writing patched code to mu-plugins or the active child theme, is provided by the separately distributed PatchOn Agent Pro extension plugin (available to Standard / Business plan subscribers at patchon.jp).
Data Sent
After the user has consented on the consent screen, when they run a "Pre-inspection" or "Apply update" operation, the plugin sends the following data to patchon.jp and related external services. See the Privacy Policy for full details.
- Site URL / WordPress version / PHP version / DB version
- List and versions of installed plugins, themes, and MU plugins
- Site files prior to update application (child theme / mu-plugins / wp-config.php, used for backup)
- Contents of WordPress debug.log (used to detect issues)
- Lightweight database dump (only at pre-inspection time; tables and columns containing personal information are excluded)
安装:
- From the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, search for "PatchOn", and install. Alternatively, download the zip and upload it manually.
- Activate the plugin. No outbound communication occurs at this point.
- A consent screen ("Welcome to PatchOn") appears in the admin area. Review the data that will be sent, then click "Agree and Start". Clicking this button is treated as your explicit consent to begin external communication, and the plugin registers your site anonymously with patchon.jp.
- You can now run pre-inspections and apply updates from "PatchOn > Update Management". No account is required for this step.
- To view detailed inspection results in the dashboard or to upgrade to a paid plan, open "PatchOn > Settings" and click "Connect this site to a PatchOn account" to register or log in at patchon.jp.
常见问题:
Is there a fee to use this plugin?
The plugin itself is distributed free of charge. The PatchOn SaaS service at patchon.jp offers a Free tier (basic VRT and detection) as well as paid Standard / Business plans that unlock AI auto-repair, additional inspection targets, and broader support. See https://patchon.jp/ for plan details.
What's the difference between Free, Standard, and Business plans?
- Free: basic regression testing on three primary URLs (top page, latest fixed page, latest post), detection-only reports viewable in the patchon.jp dashboard.
- Standard (paid): adds AI auto-repair (which requires installing the separately distributed PatchOn Agent Pro extension plugin), expanded URL count, single-generation backup, and email support.
- Business (paid): adds form testing, mobile VRT, three-generation backup, and Slack Connect support.
Does the plugin send any data to external services just by being activated?
No. Activation alone does not send any data externally. Communication starts only after the user explicitly clicks the "Agree and Start" button on the consent screen.
Where is my data stored?
In AWS (Tokyo region). See the Privacy Policy for details.
If I delete the plugin, will my data also be deleted?
When the plugin is deleted, the configuration values (such as the connection UUID) that the plugin had stored in the local database are removed automatically. However, the corresponding site data on patchon.jp is retained. To request full deletion of your cloud-side data, please send an "Account / Data Deletion Request" via the contact form.
Are automatic updates safe?
Before running the standard WordPress update flow, the plugin first attempts the same updates in a staging environment to detect issues. If problems are detected, the update is aborted and you are notified through the dashboard.
更新日志:
1.1.2
- Removed direct
require_onceof WordPress core loading files (wp-includes/functions.php,wp-admin/includes/theme.php,wp-admin/includes/misc.php) in response to plugin review feedback. - Disabled autoload for frequently updated options (
patchon_update_state,patchon_update_flash,patchon_site_uuid) to reduce per-request overhead. - Escaped all remaining dynamic output (a ternary expression and update/log counts) with
esc_html()to comply with the late-escaping convention. - Updated "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.0.
- Replaced direct cURL calls in the backup upload path with the WordPress HTTP API (
wp_remote_request()), using the officialhttp_api_curlhook to enable streaming uploads of large backup archives without buffering in memory.
- Removed file write capabilities (no longer writes to
wp-content,mu-plugins, or theme directories). Such writes were moved to the separately distributed PatchOn Agent Pro extension plugin. - Added an explicit consent screen shown on first activation. The plugin now registers your site anonymously after consent, and no account is required to get started.
- Added CSRF nonce verification on the connection flow to prevent site hijack via crafted redirect URLs.
- Updated plan tiers (Free / Standard / Business) and removed the legacy Enterprise tier from the catalog.
- Initial release on the WordPress.org official directory.
