Beschreibung

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.

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.

If you have a feature suggestion or idea you’d like to see in the plugin, we’d love to hear about it! Suggest a Feature

Main features

Automatische Aktualisierung für Plugins, Themes, Core- und Übersetzungsdateien
Set at what time you wish to update
Filter plugins and themes to not be updated
E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen über alte Software, ausstehende Updates und durchgeführte Updates
Ein Update-Protokoll mit allen Updates
Option zum Verzögern automatischer Updates um x Tage

Full control over everything

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.

Zeitplanung

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!
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.

Wissen was passiert

Wir wollen, dass du mitbekommst, was auf deiner Webseite passiert. Dieses Plugin bietet verschiedene Einstellmöglichkeiten für E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen. Wir können dir eine E-Mail schicken, wenn ein Update verfügbar ist und wenn ein Plugin oder WordPress ein Update bekommen hat. Wenn du keine E-Mails bekommen willst, kannst du dich auch anmelden und im Changelog nachsehen, was passiert ist.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen WordPress 5.5 und diesem Plugin?

WordPress 5.5 wurde kürzlich veröffentlicht und bietet unzählige neue Funktionen. Eine dieser Funktionen sind automatische Updates für Plugins und Themes. Etwas, das Companion Auto Update auch tut.
Offensichtlich haben sich einige von dir gefragt, was der Unterschied zwischen der Standard-WordPress-Methode und der von Companion Auto Update angebotenen sein soll und ich dachte, ich würde schnell einen Blog darüber schreiben und die Unterschiede erklären.

Most useful. Better than the WP auto-updates feature, as has more control and options; like frequency /how often to check for updates, what should not get updated [great for a plugin that may be problematic, and you want to test via staging before updating it, or the theme]. Thanks for this plugin!

Hermann Matthias 1. Dezember 2023

good idea, and good running, I love this plugin

bhtvdmeer 29. Mai 2023

Great plugin. You need to check your site from time to time because automatic updating can go wrong if a host is not very stable. But that is not the fault of this plugin.

Just wanted to thank the plugin author, Papin, for all his time and great work o this free plugin. I hope he goes on maintaining it. It was not updated since wp6.0.3 but it works PERFECTLY well, so I assume no need for Papin to unnecessarily waste his time. WP now has auto updates, but sans all the features and fine-tuning this plugin enables.

I've used this plugin for several years on many, many websites and it has worked absolutely flawlessly. Never a day of trouble from it. And it has saved me unbelievable amounts of trouble. So I really hate that it has come to this - but while it's still working on my WP 6.0 sites, it has not been updated and tested for use with 6.0. I haven't had any trouble with it except I'm getting bombarded with notices each day from all my websites saying I have an "outdated" plugin. It turned out it was this one. This one hasn't been updated in the last 3 months and 6.0 has been out for a month now. That's scaring me that it's no longer being supported so I'm going to be trying something else for now.

We use this amazing plugin on all our staging sites. Handy to have a log of which plugins have updates in the last week.
