Settings are to not update – but updates occur

    I use the plugin on several sites —
    I have them all set to not auto update anything –
    and am sure that the settings are set to NOT update anything automatically —

    But there are a couple sites, where despite the settings for no auto updates, I end up having random plugins that will be automatically updated — I get an e-mail notifying me of the update when it happens.

    Each time this happens I go on the plugin and again double check to be sure my settings are correct – and they are set correctly.

    Other sites I have that are using the plugin are set up the same way, and they behave properly — not doing auto updates.

    Everything is on the latest WP 4.3.

    So far, none of these updates that are happening on their own have been disruptive, but it is frustrating for sure, as the reason of putting a plugin such as this on a site is to be able to control things, and update when it is convenient, and you are sure nothing will be affected.

    I am not sure there is anything for you to do about these particular sites – but I want to let you be aware so you know this is randomly happening.

    On the other sites where I use the plugin, they are operating perfectly — never updating on their own and doing exactly as they have been set to do.

    Thanks.

    It’s something we’ve suspected for a while, but it may be host related.

    Perhaps we’re setting our filters too early in priority and something is overriding them?

    Just things we will continue to keep our eyes on.

    Thank you for using the plugin.

    In case it helps for troubleshooting the sites are on Hostgater.

    Thanks, still chugging on this issue.

    We have an update out soon that increases the priority of our filters. Hopefully if it’s a hosting issue, our higher-priority-ness will override whatever they send you all.

    For what it is worth I have some doubt it is a hosting issue as I am seeing WP sites with the same version of WP, same theme, same plugins, really everything similar on the different WP sites, and hosted on the same Hostgater server space — but with all the similarities I end up seeing a couple of the sites randomly decide to upgrade ‘some’ things /not all, just ‘some’, and the other sites are behaving perfectly in terms of updating — I have the update plugin set the same on all the sites.

    Very weird — just a fyi — for what it is worth.

    Keep chugging — all the best on this. ??

    I think we set our filters too low. Should hopefully be resolved in the upcoming release.

    Just released 5.2. Hopefully this will solve your problems.

    I’ll update all my sites and let you know if the issue I have been seeing continues — fingers crossed things will be ok. ??

    @carolinbenjamin: Did it work?

    Thread Starter cbconsult

    Hi —
    I am not sure yet because there have not been any upgrades on the sites to either happen/or not — so without there being something that says there is an upgrade ready, I can’t say for sure yet —

    I’ll keep monitoring and let you know what happens when there are any potential updates that show up —- if they end up happening even though I have indicated not to — or if the upgrade notice shows up, but it properly sits there waiting for me to handle manually.

    I think it is now working properly — on a couple of the sites that had been mal-functioning before your last plugin update some new potential plugin updates showed up and they did not update on their own — so I have a feeling your latest update for the plugin may have taken care of the problems that had been going on. Thank you.

    Awesome. Glad to hear that.
