Update option checkout shown for the plugin that does not have update package

[rajeshsingh520]

Hi,

We have a plugin that is not hosted on the wordpress.org, so for that plugin we give update motification using wordpress hook

we have faced an issue recently, in the update notification, we send "package" as empty that make the message

"Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin." on the plugins page

but on the Dashboard > update page the plugin does get an checkbox, so user end up selecting it for update and then get the error message

normally if Auto update is not available for a plugin then we should hide this checkbox as well

Hi @rajeshsingh520.

Thank you for the report.

Without more details about how the Pro plugin is hooking into the WP Updates API, it's hard to know what is going here.

The first thing I would recommend is that you read ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/30/recommended-usage-of-the-updates-api-to-support-the-auto-updates-ui-for-plugins-and-themes-in-wordpress-5-5/ and verify that you are following the recommendations for how to hook into the Updates API.
