WordPress Automatic Upgrade [WPAU 1.2.5]
I had officially retired WordPress Automatic Upgrade sometime back, however after several emails to upgrade the plugin and issues for upgrading using WordPress core update in WordPress 2.7 and above, and emails from the Automattic team, I have finally released a update that addresses couple of issues.
The issues that are fixed are as follows.
- Fixed an issue which disallowed core updates to occur when WPAU was updated in WP 2.7 and above.
- Updated the code to display nag on WordPress 2.7 and above.
This takes care of problems faced by several users, you can download the latest update from the official WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin page, or directly update it using the plugin updater in WordPress core.

Hey Bro, I just wanted to say thank you so much as this plug-in saved my @$$ and I wish I would have used this first. I tried to have my provider upgrade wordpress for me and they screwed up and rolled my blog back twice erasing alot of content which you can guess, made me livid! I found your plugin and it was awesome, fast and simple. I know I probably sound like a little girl but its because I was dreading having to manually upgrade it and make backups but your plug in took care of that for me. Thanks again!

Thanks for updating this plugin — your plugin works perfectly for me, while the built in WP function does not.
Count me as one vote for keeping this plugin current!

I am totally frustrated. Wordpress tells me to update but I cannot figure out how to do it. I would it would be simple for guys like me who don’t understand the tech stuff. If there is a simple way to do it I’d sure like to know about it.
Thanks, David Tampien-Moses Lake, WA

I’m having the same issue now, but I have 1.2.5, and want to upgrade to 2.8. I currently have 2.7.1. WP is not nagging me to upgrade, and the plugin says I’m up-to-date.
Help?

Hi, WPAU used to work fine in my blog. But now it won’t upgrade to 2.8.4. When I try to upgrade and click on the link saying everything is ready to roll it just loads a blank page, but the WP admin header and left side navigation still show up.
Please help. I need to upgrade badly and I hate manually upgrading for fear of messing things up.
Thank you. I love this plugin.

Cheers,
I have an issue similar to Craw above. I can enter and navigate the Dashboard and all of the var5ious screens. But my Blog itself is ‘missing’. Please check here: http://www.daily-nonsense.com/Blog/
Could you please tell me what I might have done wrong and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

@Bob Do you have access to your admin interface, if so can you try changing the theme to something else? Looks like a issue with the theme as the page is only half loading.

That is exactly what the issue was. I’ll find a new replacement theme and be back in business. Thank you for the incredibly quick troubleshooting and response time!

Hi,
I tried upgrading to 2.8.5 a few minutes ago with your plugin.
Now, my site doesn’t work. It’s stuck in maintenance mode. How do I get out of it.
I don’t have a .maintenance file in my blog folder.
I just don’t understand why this happened.
I deleted your plugin but that didn’t work. Please help
