Aurelio Volle Excellent news! Thank you!
John Bendever, Jr.
Aurelio, will we be able to set a variation detection so items are automatically rolled back if it's over the set amount of percentage difference?
Also, how will we be able to throttle activity so a server with multiple sites is not bogged down? Is there a plan for that?
Aurelio Volle
John Bendever, Jr. this should be mitigated by the way our workers are working. But thanks for the heads up!
Dustin Dauncey
Yes, this is very important. Auto-updates would be great, and the ability to time them is equally as important too. For example, I have backups daily to sometimes up to 4 times daily from my hosting platform which I manage, and they are scheduled at certain times. It'd be great if I had the ability to schedule the updates to occur after my platform backups are completed. So let's say for example the backup is at 6:00 AM Pacific Time, I'd like to schedule the updates at 6:30 AM or even at 6:15 AM so that it is close to when the platform backup is finished.

This is a deal breaker for me: it's the only reason I'm not migrating my sites from ManageWP.
Aurelio Volle
Tommaso Baldovino how would you like to schedule your update if you had a magic stick?
Tommaso Baldovino
Aurelio Volle I’d like to be able to set the update frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, also choosing the time of the day), and if the update should be done immediately without any check or after a site backup with a status check after the “safe update”. Obviously I’d like to choose which plugins and themes auto-update, as for the core WP files.
Thank you!
Rob Watson
Tommaso Baldovino Everything Tommaso said is also what I would like, ideally. It needs to be more configurable and controllable than the default autoupdate in WordPress so we can account for exceptions and be "in the office" at the hours of the day the updates occur, or else sites are risked and the value of WP Umbrella is lost.

I was looking to start setting this up for my sites today — for some reason I thought it was already implemented! Currently we have most plugins set to auto-update, except ones particularly prone to breaking things, but this results in "Temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance" messages at random times. I want to be able to schedule updates for early in the morning, with "Safe Update" enabled for those especially sensitive plugins.

Can't wait for it.
Romain Galvez
This will be an absolute banger !
But you need to enable safe-update for auto-update too to prevent breaking sites.

We need this feature when will this happen?
Aurelio Volle
Richard we have started to work on this! Released date during Q1 next year! How would you like to schedule your updates?

Aurelio Volle it would be great if wp umbrella check every night if there are updates, if yes then update en check the site if there are something broken. if there something broken there will be a restore of a backup. are there no errors the update is succes. or you can plan it like every friday on a time run a back up and then update every site something like that.

The only missing thing (and safe updates) that makes us hesitate to migrate all our sites from ManageWP.

Gabriel
Magneto Safe Updates is one of the most asked features and essential. This is one of the arguments to stay with ManageWP, because I must have the possibility to immediately restore from a fresh backup after an update fails!
Aurelio Volle
Magneto Gabriel now that safe update is live, we are starting to work on update automation. How would you like to be able to schedule your updates?
M
Magneto
Hi Aurelio Volle, thank you for asking. For me the following options would work: Immediately when available/Once a day at specific time/once a week at specific day&time/once a month at specific day&time. There also could be an override to do an update immediately if that update patches a security issue and one of the date/time options is set. It should be possible to select a subset of plugins per site, so that it possible to exclude plugins/themes from updating automatically
For me update frequency can be set globally per site, not necessarily per plugin/theme
Btw: it would be great to also het safe updates on themes too though.

I look forward to trying out WPUmbrella when this feature is available!
Aurelio Volle
Gaye Nilson any insights on how you would like this feature to be implemented?

Gaye Nilson
Aurelio Volle Currently I have a number of sites scheduled to update in the early hours on a Monday, and another set of sites on a Tuesday (using ManageWP). My VA then checks the sites each morning and notifies me if there are any issues. I also use safe update so that a backup is run before the updates run, so if there are issues my VA can quickly do a restore if necessary. The updates include plugins and themes.
So the ability to set a day and time on each site is important, plus select all or only some plugins/themes to update automatically, plus a backup to run prior to the updates. And recorded in a history log so I can see which plugins/themes were updated and when.
Hope that helps!
Leif Kajrup
This, together with "Safe Update Feature", is a show-stopper for us. If this would be in place I would merge all sites from ManageWP in a hearbeat.
Aurelio Volle
Leif Kajrup how would you like this feature to be implemented? What would be your ideal scheduling options?
Leif Kajrup
Aurelio Volle I would like to be able to set if the backup should be incremental or full and the frequency (hourly, daily, weekly or monthly) and be able to set the start time (day and time).
