Great plugin

By bhtvdmeer on May 29, 2023

Great plugin. You need to check your site from time to time because automatic updating can go wrong if a host is not very stable. But that is not the fault of this plugin.

Wonderful plugin albeit a past hiccup

Just wanted to thank the plugin author, Papin, for all his time and great work o this free plugin. I hope he goes on maintaining it. It was not updated since wp6.0.3 but it works PERFECTLY well, so I assume no need for Papin to unnecessarily waste his time.

WP now has auto updates, but sans all the features and fine-tuning this plugin enables.

Looks like it's no longer maintained

I've used this plugin for several years on many, many websites and it has worked absolutely flawlessly. Never a day of trouble from it. And it has saved me unbelievable amounts of trouble. So I really hate that it has come to this - but while it's still working on my WP 6.0 sites, it has not been updated and tested for use with 6.0. I haven't had any trouble with it except I'm getting bombarded with notices each day from all my websites saying I have an "outdated" plugin. It turned out it was this one. This one hasn't been updated in the last 3 months and 6.0 has been out for a month now. That's scaring me that it's no longer being supported so I'm going to be trying something else for now.

Super easy for my staging enviremont

We use this amazing plugin on all our staging sites. Handy to have a log of which plugins have updates in the last week.

Muito bom

Doesn't work

By Wendihihihi on January 29, 2022

Stopped working long time ago. Asked for a solution on the forum, but no reply. Going to look for alternatives.

So far an excellent plugin! Well done Pappin. I just wish you were replying to all reviews especially the one saying that this plugin is slowing down sites.

I don't trust this plugin

By markzoi on March 12, 2021

After installing this plugin in about 20 websites I find out that I was blocking the autoupdate from WPML plugins (perfectly register with my license key) all other plugins and theme updates where working ... So I had several issue by passing from a old version of WPML to last versions in some websites!
