Introduction to the Automatic Updates system

Note: This system is no longer applicable to the latest version of the Shield Security plugin and is here for reference purposes only.

The Automatic Updates lets you manage the WordPress automatic updates system so you chose what exactly gets updated automatically. You can turn on or off all automatic updates for all elements included in the WordPress background updates system.

This system is accessible from within the main Config menu > Auto Updates:

Here you can configure WordPress Components options to

  • control how automatic updates for each WordPress components in handled.
  • make adjustments to how automatic updates are handled on your site.
