Overview
Advanced Automatic Updates is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to enhance the platform's native Automatic Updates capabilities. It extends support beyond security patches to include automatic installation of major releases, plugins, themes, and even routine SVN checkouts. Particularly beneficial for those managing Wordpress Multisite installations, the plugin ensures that update options are appropriately confined to the Network Admin. While immensely useful for the majority of WordPress sites, users should proceed with caution if they have custom themes or plugins, as these could potentially be affected by automatic updates.
