Automate "Tested up to" version updates in your WordPress projects.

This GitHub Action fetches the latest WordPress version then updates the "Tested up to" version of your WordPress plugin or theme if it's out of date.

The action can create a pull request for the change, or commit directly to the default branch. Never forget to update the "Tested up to" version of your WordPress plugin or theme again!

Here's a minimal example of running the action based on a cron schedule.

.github/workflows/tut-check.yml:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: write
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  update-tested-up-to:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Update "Tested up to" version
        uses: AlecRust/[email protected]
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Note: permissions, env.GITHUB_TOKEN and the "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" repository option are required for the action to create pull requests.

See action.yml for detailed information on the action's inputs.

Please remember to thoroughly test your plugin/theme with the new version of WordPress before publishing an updated "Tested up to" version.
