<p>Companion Auto Update is a powerful and completely free plugin that allows you to manage all the updates on your WordPress site. Our aim is to give you the best control over these updates and stay in the know at all times.</p>
<p>We understand that you might not always be able to check if your WordPress site has any updates that need to be installed. Especially when you maintain multiple websites keeping them up-to-date can be a lot of work. This plugin can help you with that. We’ll keep your site up-to-date and keep you posted about what’s happening and notify you when we need your help with something.</p>
<p>If you have a feature suggestion or idea you’d like to see in the plugin, we’d love to hear about it! <a href="https://codeermeneer.nl/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">Suggest a Feature</a></p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ol>
<li>Auto-updating for plugins, themes, core and translation files</li>
<li>Set at what time you wish to update</li>
<li>Filter plugins and themes to not be updated</li>
<li>E-mail notifications about old software, pending updates and completed updates</li>
<li>An update log with all updates</li>
<li>Option to delay automatic updates with an x number of days</li>
</ol>
<h4>Full control over everything</h4>
<p>Full control, that’s what this plugin is all about. With this plugin you can enable (or disable) automatic updating for plugins, themes, WordPress core updates (both minor and major can be changed separately) and for translation files. Don’t want to run the updater for all plugins? Don’t worry, just disable auto updating for the plugins you’d like to skip and we can even notify you when there’s an update for these plugins so you can go and update them yourself.</p>
<h4>Scheduling</h4>
<p>By default we’ll check for updates twice a day but you can change this to several different options if you’d like. When choosing to update on a daily basis you can even select at what time you’d like it to run. Besides the updaters you can also schedule te notifications, want to update every hour but only recieve notifications once a day? No problem!<br />
Sometimes developers will push an update that will cause errors on your site, they’ll often fix it within a day but if the updater has run in the mean time it can cause all kinds of issues. Now you can choose to delay updates with an x number of days to prevent this from happening.</p>
<h4>Know what’s happening</h4>
<p>We want you to know what’s happening on your website. This plugin offers settings for various email notifications. We can send you an email when an update is available, when a plugin has been updated or when wordpress has been updated.<br />
But if you don’t want to recieve emails about this you can still log in and view the changelog to see what happened.</p>

<p>Circuit Breaker is a lightweight safety utility designed to help administrators recover from fatal error loops caused by plugins.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT:<br />
– This plugin DOES NOT automatically deactivate other plugins.<br />
– This plugin DOES NOT modify WordPress core.<br />
– This plugin DOES NOT connect to any external service.<br />
– This plugin DOES NOT send any data externally.</p>
<p>When a fatal error is detected, Circuit Breaker:<br />
1. Logs the event internally.<br />
2. Temporarily prevents the suspected plugin from loading (without deactivating it).<br />
3. Displays an admin notice.<br />
4. Allows the administrator to manually deactivate the plugin.</p>
<p>All actions are initiated by the administrator. The plugin never changes plugin activation state automatically.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>If a fatal error occurs:</p>
<p>• WordPress shuts down normally.<br />
• Circuit Breaker detects the last active plugin action.<br />
• On next load, the suspected plugin is skipped temporarily.<br />
• An admin notice appears with:<br />
  – Option to deactivate the suspected plugin (manual action)<br />
  – Option to restore it</p>
<p>This prevents crash loops while maintaining full user control.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not use or rely on any external services.<br />
No API calls are made.<br />
No remote assets are loaded.<br />
No tracking is performed.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Circuit Breaker does not collect, store, transmit, or process personal data.<br />
All operations are performed locally within WordPress.</p>
