PatchOn Agent for WordPress

PatchOn is an AI service that runs your WordPress plugin, theme, and core updates for you. It reproduces your production site in a staging environment, lets AI verify whether each update can be applied safely, and applies only the updates that pass every check to production. If an update ever fails, one click restores your site. This plugin acts as the agent connecting your WordPress site to PatchOn.

Getting Started This plugin requires the PatchOn service (patchon.jp) and does not function on its own. Activation alone performs no external communication and does not redirect you. Clicking “Start PatchOn” on the welcome screen opens a consent dialog describing the data that will be sent; confirming it with “Agree and Start” registers your site anonymously and, if updates are available, starts the first inspect-and-update run. No account is required to get started — you need one only to:

view detailed inspection results

configure automatic updates

use paid features

Main Features

Pre-inspection — in a staging environment, AI compares before / after screenshots of your site to detect layout breakage and fatal errors

Inspect and update — a manual run goes from inspection to production rollout in one action, applying only updates that passed every check

Automatic updates with inspection — the site is inspected on a schedule and only updates that passed every check are applied

Backups — taken automatically right before each update and downloadable for a plan-based retention period

One-click restore — if an applied update fails, one click puts your site back to the pre-update backup
