Plugin updated automatically when it shouldn’t
-
I received an email from one of my sites this morning advising that WooCommerce Stripe Gateway automatically updated from v7.4.0 to 7.4.1.
Auto-Updates aren’t enabled for this plugin, in the Dashboard, and there’s no setting in the plugin settings to enable/disable auto-updates.

I presume this functionality is built into the plugin, as there’s no other plugins on my site that auto-update, as I’ve specifically not enabled auto-updates on plugins. Why did this this plugin auto-update? If this is built into the plugin then you either need to remove the functionality, or provide us with an option to disable auto-updates. At the moment, you’re overriding core WordPress functionality by not obeying the auto-update setting for that plugin, that is built into core.
There’s nothing in the plugin changelog to indicate that this was just a “once off” plugin update to fix a security issue, so I assume this is functionality that you’ve now built into the plugin. Please obey core WP settings. I don’t want my plugins auto-updating.
Thanks.
