<p>Updatronix logs every core, plugin, theme, and translation update that WordPress processes. It records version snapshots, trigger types, and technical details, and stores everything in your site’s database.</p>
<p>The plugin also provides auto-update controls that save directly to native WordPress options, email routing for built-in notification emails, and detection of <code>wp-config.php</code> constants that override update behavior. It does not replace the WordPress update engine, perform rollbacks, or connect to external services.</p>
<h4>Update logging</h4>
<ul>
<li>Record the name, slug, type, and status of every update.</li>
<li>Store version-before and version-after snapshots for each event.</li>
<li>See what triggered each update — a manual action, the automatic update system, or a file upload.</li>
<li>Review the technical process messages that WordPress generates during the upgrade.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Auto-update controls</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set core updates to apply all versions, minor releases only, or manual-only mode.</li>
<li>Toggle auto-updates for individual plugins and themes using the same options WordPress reads natively.</li>
<li>View <code>wp-config.php</code> constants (such as <code>WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE</code>) that override your settings, so you can spot configuration conflicts.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email routing</h4>
<p>Updatronix filters the notification emails WordPress sends — it does not create a separate notification system.</p>
<ul>
<li>Redirect core update alerts, auto-update notices, and recovery mode emails to the recipients you choose.</li>
<li>Select which event types trigger a notification.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Failure tracking</h4>
<ul>
<li>View log entries even when an update fails due to a server timeout or fatal error.</li>
<li>Review error details that the shutdown handler captures for manual recovery.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy Statement</h3>
<p>Updatronix does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to third parties. There are no external service dependencies or telemetry. All update logs stay in your site’s own WordPress database.</p>
<h3>Accessibility Statement</h3>
<p>Updatronix aims to be fully accessible to all of its users.</p>


Updatronix


This simple plugin solve my problem of having unwanted updates, both for plugins and for WordPress.And with the logs I can keep track of what is updated and when, this is quite important to clarify some workflow.I once used a similar plugin, but It was way heavy and was more "brute-force".


Lightweight and convenient


Great plugin to log updates! Update log interface is clear and easy to navigate, making my updates tracking way more convenient. Combined with the mail routing options, it's a nice setup to keep an eye on eventual issues with auto-updates. I would love a one-click option to access the update details though. 


Simple and clear updates logging

Log every WordPress update with version details, manage auto-updates through native settings, and route notification emails to chosen recipients.

<p>WP Auto Updater plugin enables automatic updates of WordPress Core, Themes, Plugins and Translations. Version control of WordPress Core makes automatic update more safely.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>

<li>Automatically update WordPress Core</li>
<li>Automatically updates Themes, Plugins and Translations</li>
<li>Set up a schedule automatic updates</li>
<li>Disable automatic updating of each Themes and Plugins</li>
<li>Record update history</li>
<li>Update notification</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: before updating, please back up your database and files.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: WordPress version 5.5 later, The auto-updates have been implemented for the WordPress Core, as well as themes and plugins. If the auto-updates are enabled, the settings for WordPress Core will take priority over WP Auto Updater plugin. This will result in issues such as no updates at all, or not being updated at the scheduled update date and time. To properly control updates, disable all auto-updates include themes and plugins before enable WP Auto Updater plugin. See <a href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/plugins-themes-auto-updates/" rel="ugc">Plugin and themes auto-updates</a></p>
<h4>Auto Update Scenario</h4>
<p>First of all, we will make an <strong>Auto Update Scenario</strong> which decide the policy of WordPress automatic updates.</p>
<p>You can choose from the following five automatic updates of WordPress Core.</p>
<ul>
<li>Minor Version Update</li>
<li>Major Version Update</li>
<li>Minor Only Version Update</li>
<li>Previous Generation Version Update</li>
<li>Manual Update</li>
</ul>
<h4>Minor Version Update</h4>
<p><strong>Minor Version Update</strong> enable minor updates. Minor updates is default behavior in WordPress for security updates. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.8 to 4.8.1, 4.8.2 …</p>
<h4>Major Version Update</h4>
<p><strong>Major Version Update</strong> enable major updates. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.7 to 4.8, 4.9 …</p>
<h4>Minor Only Version Update</h4>
<p><strong>Minor Only Version Update</strong> enable major updates and minor updates <strong>except version x.y.0</strong>. It make sense to take a “skip” approach to avoid introducing new vulnerabilities into the latest major version release.</p>
<p>Update the WordPress Core version (eg. x.y.1 or later) with security fixed. Not automatically update the latest major version of x.y.0. The transition of the version number is as follows: update from 4.7.z to 4.8.z, 4.9.z … skiped 4.7.0, 4.8.0, 4.9.0 …</p>
<h4>Previous Generation Version Update</h4>
<p><strong>Previous Generation Version Update</strong> enable major updates and minor updates <strong>except the latest major version</strong>. It make sense to take a “wait and see” approach to ensure the latest major version release is stable before.</p>
<p>With the installed WordPress Core version as 4.6.z. If the latest WordPress Core version released to 4.8.0, automatically update it to version 4.7.z. It will be always automatically updated to the previous generation WordPress Core version with probably security fixed.</p>
<h4>Manual Update</h4>
<p><strong>Manual Update</strong> disable automatic updates. You update WordPress Core manually on the Dashboard Updates Screen.</p>
<p><strong>Automatic updates</strong> and <strong>manual updates</strong> are available for themes, plugins and Translations.<br />
It is also possible to disable automatic updating of each Themes and Plugins.</p>
<h4>Scheduled automatic updates</h4>
<p>Next we will set up a schedule for automatic updates.<br />
The update interval can be selected from the following four.</p>
<ul>
<li>Twice Daily (12 hours interval)</li>
<li>Daily</li>
<li>Weekly</li>
<li>Monthly</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also set the day, the day of the week, the hour and the minute of the Update Date.</p>
<p>At the time of automatic update, Automatically updates WordPress Core, Themes, Plugins and Translations to be updated.</p>
<h4>Support</h4>
<p>If you have any trouble, you can use the forums or report bugs.</p>

<h4>Contribution</h4>
<p>Small patches and bug reports can be submitted a issue tracker in Github. Forking on Github is another good way. You can send a pull request.</p>
<p>Translating a plugin takes a lot of time, effort, and patience. I really appreciate the hard work from these contributors.</p>

No problems.
The option to set a time, also when the interval is a week, is very useful.
