Handy for the Right Site
by Daniel Hendricks·9 years ago
I like this plugin because it takes away the mundane task up updating everything on sites that do not to be babysat. Yeah, it seems to miss some plugins, like iThemes, but that’s not surprising since they have their own proprietary update system (so it seems). Handy!
Funciona bien

It doesn't update plugins but fairly good for core updates

This plugin cannot update plugins automatically but I can say its okay for core wordpress updates. I chose and ticked all of the options but still plugin update wont work…
Makes it so easy
by tristandenyer·11 years ago
I’ve got this running on 5 sites, works great! Once it is setup, it really makes it incredibly easy to maintain a site by not having to do anything. I like that I can select what I want to update, form themes to plugins to Core and minor updates.
Thanks!
Phantastic

This plugin really rocks. Now I have a true zero-configuration, always up-to-date WordPress installation.
