We are lazy enough to take some trouble to get the software installations upgraded. SysAdmins always want something to automate checks, patch management etc. I was wondering if its possible to automate Wordpress upgrades. Then I found this wonderful plugin called Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin by keithdsouza, ronalfy. It has helped me to save time on performing 5 steps upgradation process of WP. No more shell access or SVN setup required for upgrades.
My Dashboard with “Automatic upgrade” option in Manage section.
FYI: This plugin turns out to be handy for website owners, who use Cpanel and other control panel’s to install and manage wordpress blogs. These webhosting control panels will have their own upgrade windows until which users might not be able to enjoy the releases rolled out by wordpress.
I shall write more about the plugins which I use in my blog to help you all with your wordpress installation.
