Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Auto Update version 1.0.2 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Auto Update is built for site owners who want WordPress to stay current without logging in to run updates manually.
It keeps WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated automatically, which helps reduce maintenance work, apply security fixes sooner, and keep the site closer to the latest stable releases.
Once activated, it enables both minor and major core updates and allows installed plugins and themes to update in the background.
There is no settings page. Activate the plugin and let WordPress handle updates automatically.
