User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for seamlessly enabling automatic updates for the core, themes, and plugins, effectively streamlining site maintenance without manual intervention. They find it resource-efficient and commend its configurability, especially for those without coding skills. The email notifications for core updates are valued, though there are issues with notifications for plugin/theme updates. Users also believe the plugin should be part of WordPress core functionality for managing updates. However, some note it doesn't always handle self-hosted themes/plugins well and can cause compatibility issues with updates, highlighting a need for better integration and clearer settings navigation.

Auto update WP core -> work! Auto update themes -> work! Auto update plugins -> work! but… Auto update self hosted plugins -> work only one! (Manual update by hand also work only one, i don’t know why.) Auto update self hosted themes -> work only one! (Manual update by hand also work only one, i don’t know why.) ————— Auto update core send email -> work! Auto update plugins/themes send email -> not working! (Is its default functional to not sending email from these type of update?)

Hi there Guys, I have used a small number of plug-ins to update my theme and plug-ins on WordPress websites. This plug-in works extremely well and I would recommend it to anyone. It does what it says on the tin! Kind regards John

As another reviewer already said, there should be an option in WordPress itself to disable updates. In the meanwhile, this is the plugin to use. Yesterday several of my client’s websites were broken because of the 4.01 update. You can imagine all the troubles I am facing. Not all themes developers are quick to provide a fix, for instance.So, I immediately installed this plugin on all websites to prevent future problems.
