This plugin will give you three alternatives for managing your WordPress updates:
<ul>
<li>Update automatically – This updates WordPress/themes/plugins automatically and sends an email to the site admin when an update has been performed.</li>
<li>Update automatically (no email) – Same as the first alternative, but without the email.</li>
<li>Inform about updates once a week – This will send an email to the admin once a week if there are anything that can be updated.</li>
</ul>
Notice that only plugins/themes that resides in the WordPress 
repository will be updated/informed about.
The plugin has not been tested and is not primarily made for multi site-installations.

DEPRECATED: As of WP v5.5 this plugins functionality is included in WP Core and this plugin is not required anymore. If you are running WP v5.5 or greater, you can de-activate and delete/remove this plugin. This plugin will still continue work fine with versions of WordPress less than v5.5.
WordPress will let you install a NEW plugin or theme from a zip file, but it does NOT allow you to upgrade them from a zip file. If you try to upgrade from a zip file, you will get an error message that says “destination already exists” and the upgrade will fail. WordPress will not allow you to upgrade from a zip file.
Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File will allow you to easily upgrade from a zip file, avoiding the “destination already exists” error message.
There is also an option to create a backup copy of the old plugin or theme, in case there is a problem with the new version.
