# checking site plugin updates

 * I have a plugin that uses puc (via a plugin [https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker](https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker))
   to deliver updates via github. When I go to the wordpress admin panel and click
   on “Updates”, updates are shown as expected. However, via MainWP I can’t seem
   to check for updates for this plugin. It sees all sites with the plugin (and 
   some already have the newer version due to auto-updating), but MainWP itself 
   can’t detect available updates for this plugin.
   So my question is: how does MainWP
   check for site plugin updates? Or does something else need to be put in place
   for MainWP to detect updates?

 * Hey [@liedekef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/)
 * In general, if the updates are visible on the Updates page on the Child Site,
   they should be visible on the MainWP Dashboard as well.
 * However, we are unable to cover all custom solutions for checking and delivering
   updates for plugins/themes.
 * You may try following the steps in this help document to enhance the compatibility
   with these custom solutions: [https://kb.mainwp.com/docs/premium-plugin-updates-not-detected/](https://kb.mainwp.com/docs/premium-plugin-updates-not-detected/)
 * It was written for Premium plugins, but the principle is the same since the method
   of delivery of update is not through wordpress.org, that is, it is non-standard.
