Hello, it's me again. I see this plugin documentation.And I try use it on the theme. I copy the file(includes/updater.php) and paste to the theme. In my functions.php add code like it: require_once dirname( FILE ) .'updater.php'; But "HTTP ERROR 500" in chrome, Did I do something wrong? Thank you very much！

Hi Harvey,

To be honest, This is a developer tool, If you don't know how to include a file in PHP (which is very basic). I actually don't recommend to use this tool. And I don't really have time to teach you. So, I'm really sorry. I'm closing this issue.

However, here's an example code to include in parent theme:

require_once get_template_directory() . '/inc/updater.php';

And for further example. Here's a theme where I use the updater. Check the config args where I setup the server, etc.. https://github.com/turtlepod/nokonoko/blob/master/includes/updater.php

Have fun learning PHP :) I wish you luck,
