WordPressプラグインとテーマの自動更新を有効化する方法

   When it’s good to have both plugins and theme with the WordPress core to update automatically, it certainly comes with some cons.
   1) If there is a crash, it will be difficult to easily identify the culprit plugin, theme or specific action that triggered the issue.
   2) For me, I used to firstly check the changealog to know the new features coming with the new update, so I can know what functions has added or removed form the plugin.

   I still choose to do it manually.

   I prefer doing manual updates to my wordpress websites as it gives a sense of control over the update and also it feels secure not to take risk of crashing the website completely.
   I have heard many times that having updated version is of utmost importance to keep the WordPress safe, is it really the security patch that gets updated always or other factors as well?
   Also, is it advisable to always have the latest version or to have update only when there is security update is concerned?

     More than just security is patched when updating a plugin and we recommend keeping plugins and themes up to date as some add helpful new features for your site

   And what is your specific opinion on automatic updates? Personally, I’ve always found it much better to manage updates manually because it’s possible, and it has often happened to me, that after an update, the website crashed and it took hours or even days before anyone noticed. For that reason, for example, I’ve refrained from automatic updates.

     It depends on the specific site, for more complex sites it is normally better to manually update the site but for simple sites automatic updates are normally for the best.

   Nothing worked out please help.

   1. The plugin which is mentioned no longer available to download and use.
   2. On adding code to functions.php it shows “Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.”

   Please update

     Thank you for letting us know about the plugin, for the code you can manually add it to avoid that message using FTP. We cover how to use FTP in our article below:

   You can replace the link for “Automatic Plugin Updates” plugin because it is obsolete now and This plugin was closed on October 2, 2018 and is no longer available for download.

   The auto update plugin is closed for download since Oct 2018. Any substitute?
   Thanks

   Thanks for this information. I installed the plugins mentioned on my test wordpress site (I want to check out how well it works before applying it to my production site). After Activating the plugin and checking off the one’s I want included in the auto-update… wondering… is there any indicator that the plugins are actually being updated? Or do we just wait and check the site later? Thanks again for your advice on this. Much obliged.

     Hi,

     You can install WP Rollback plugin. Rollback a few of your plugins to older versions and then test automatic updates.

   Hi, first of all thanks for the post. But, Adding that above mentioned auto update plugin code and theme code is recommended? Or It can create any problems in future?

   Please let me know!

   As a follow up, I’ve since installed the recommended plugin and that didn’t work either. Troubleshooting points to the site being a managed GoDaddy account as the culprit, so if anyone else has the same problem that may be the cause.

    Hi,

    As a beginner I was wondering where exactly I should put this code? Both examples use line 1, but I’m using a child theme and it needs to enque styles first.

    I’ve put it at the bottom following the CSS rule, but I’m not sure if that would create problems or not? I would really appreciate a response.

    Thanks

      Hi Anja,

      You can add the code at the end of your functions.php file.

        Hi,

        This doesn’t seem to have worked as I’m getting a plug-in that needs to be updated. Being a beginner and not knowing PHP I maybe haven’t nested it properly (I haven’t added any nesting at all)?

        My script reads:

        }
        add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );

        add_filter( ‘auto_update_plugin’, ‘__return_true’ );

        add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_true’ );

        And it literally ends there. I read on the wordpress codex that lines like this should be added to the wp-config file (which I haven’t done because I have no idea to do it). For educational purposes, why have you chosen functions.php instead?

        Thanks again for your help, and I’m sorry if this is an obvious question.

        返信

        • Anja

          Please? I really don’t know what I’ve done wrong, even though further reading did reveal why you’ve added this to functions.php and NOT the codex (as they write not to put it in for these especially).

        • Anja

          Pretty please? As a beginner I really can’t think of what else to do, and this article is targeted at beginners. You need to consider that for every one person who takes the time to say something or ask a question there’s probably about 10 others who’ve just passed on.

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Anja,

          We are unsure why the code wouldn’t work for you. Make sure that you are adding it to functions.php file. As an alternate you may want to try Easy Updates Manager plugin which allows you to set automatic updates via admin area.

11. Devin

    If you edit the functions.php file ….. won’t it just get overwritten by any new wordpress framework updates?

    返信

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hey Devin,

      In many cases if you are using a framework, then you are probably also using a child theme. In that case you can add code to child theme’s functions file. Alternatively, you can add your code in a site-specific plugin.

    The WP Rollback plugin has not been updated in 8 months as of 5/16/2017. Do you still recommend it or attest to it’s viability for release 4.7.4 of Wordpress or earlier?
    Thx

    WordPress Codex advises to put this code to wp-config.php what are the pros and cons of putting it to functions.php ?

    返信

    • Peter

      No, it says:
      “Do NOT add add_filter() calls directly in wp-config.php. WordPress isn’t fully loaded and can cause conflicts with other applications such as WP-CLI.”

      返信

      • Panagiotis

        Ah filters filters filters.
        Got confused because in the codex it gives some definitions as well that should be put in wp-config.php, filters should go on functions.php. Thanks Peter.

    You left out one small item…HOW does a beginner(!) insert this code? A few additional screen shots would have been helpful. Thanks

    返信

    • Panagiotis

      Hello Gail,
      you can insert this code by logging in with your ftp credentials to your site and edit functions.php that is located in the /public_html/ folder.

        There are so many functions.php files in the /public_html/ folder. Which one do I choose?

        There’s one of them in wp-includes, some in a few of my plugin folders and one in each of my theme folders.

        返信

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Oosman,

          You need to make changes to functions.php file in your currently active theme’s folder.

    Just handing out compliments – this is absolutely the most useful newsletter I have ever encountered. Your one-topic specific ‘how to’ posts are so well done – easy to understand and solve issues I didn’t know I had! Thank you, thank you, thank you. My blogs are getting more sophisticated by the day as I learn how to accomplish the fine details.

    Great article! Thanks for publishing it!!

    Just curious, the code snippets for both plugins and themes state the same thing. Is there supposed to be a difference?

    Thanks again!

    • WPBeginner Support

      No, and thanks for notifying us. We have fixed the code snippet.

    Should the 2nd snippet for themes be this?:

    add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_true’ );
