Just started using your plugin which is working well. I noticed that the setting Use HTML in emails appears to be the wrong way round. When I select Use HTML I get text. To get html I have to set it to Use plain text.
]]>Hello,
Just to warn you the journal of update is just displaying random craziness on my WordPress websites (we’re the 24th and most of those plugins haven’t been updates for at least a week).
Example:
Hi,
I’m getting this warning on the change log page:
Warning: Undefined variable $translations in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/companion-auto-update/cau_functions.php on line 578
How can I fix it?
WordPress 6.5.3
Plugin version 3.9.1
PHP version 8.1.27
Hello,
We have this installed on our multisite, and have noticed a few issues.
- Plugins are updating when core is scheduled to (both have different times)
- The emails update logs contains updates from the day before, not just the latest updated ones
- The emails plugin list are not ordered chronologically
- Delay updates of 1 day is being ignored, maybe due to it thinking their core not plugin?
- Multiple emails are sent out with the update logs at the same time (E.G 2x outdated list + 2x update log)
Here is this mornings update email log

I use a custom cronjob and see that your plugin also shows my setting DISABLE_WP_CRON true in the status area. Is that a problem or why does it not work as expected anymore?

Sorry to bother you again, but I thought it might be helpful for you to receive these notifications similar to my last post.

Hi,
I’m getting the below PHP error – any suggestions how to troubleshoot?

Hi and many thanks for your great plugin.
Sadly, recently I’m seeing issues,as all updates are carried out [in log report] on the same day & time, and it’s not my WP or server time but a next day timestamp.
So i deleted and re-installed.
I may have deleted via the Advanced DB cleanup plugin something, so I hoped a clean re-install would fix issues.
However, activating your plugin made wp-admin inaccessible and site on frontend too.
Before re-installing it, I had turned on the plugin admin page to show the column for WP Updates.
SO I deleted plugin in file-manager, then site returned to me. I unset to show WP updates, re-installed your plugin and all functions again as expected.
Just thought to let you know of this issue.
I have set intervals for updates to take place at 01:30:
However, the Status tab shows 07:30:
Is this correct?

Hello
I activated the plugin with the settings.
Despite this, I still have these indications:
“The automatic_updater_disabled filter is enabled.”
“Error All automatic updates are disabled.”
Can you explain and tell me what I should do?
Thanks in advance
Jean Marie”
Hi, seems v3.8.8 breaks my sites and shows links to the trouble help. With try & error i found the troublemaker, this plugin!
Greets Andy
]]>Hello,
I use version 3.8.8 but it also happened one version before – the update schedule for plugins is every 1 minute, but auto updates do not occur and I have to update manually.
In the status page there is this notice:
“
Possible plugin issues
better-wp-security/better-wp-security.php?May block auto-updating for everything.
“
But the link there, https://plugins.wijzijnqreative.nl/documentation/known-issues-fixes/#plugins, doesn’t mention this plugin, and I cannot disable this security plugin.
What can I do?
Hello,
I one deactivate the plugin and then activate it back – some of the settings are change from what was set before by the user.
FYI.
When the plugin is enabled we see the below admin notice:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$slug in?/home/customer/www/esacareermentoring.com.au/public_html/wp-content/plugins/companion-auto-update/cau_functions.php?on line?989
The underlined line below is line 989 in cau_functions.php
// Only update plugins which are enabled
function cau_dontUpdatePlugins( $update, $item ) {
$plugins = plugins_donotupdatelist();
<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>? ? if ( in_array( $item->slug, $plugins ) ) {</span>
return false; // Don’t update these plugins
} else {
return true; // Always update these plugins
}
]]>When the Auto update plugins? or Auto update themes? option is selected, the respective update notification emails are not being sent. This is “caused” by the if( $config->onoroff != ‘on’ ) conditions in the cau_emails.php file.
I can understand why is this (I assume it’s to prevent notifications about updates that will happen automatically), however it’s also kind of confusing when you look at the Status settings tab, where the Update available even is listed as enabled and even shows the next time it will be run.
My expectation would be either to get notification of all available updates regardless if they happen will automatically or not, or get notifications of available updates for plugins/themes that don’t have automatic updates enabled.
Hello,
A warning appears every day, in the error_log file, at the scheduled time for the automatic update of the wordpress core:

Is it possible to correct this?
Thanks

hello dear Papin hello dear all
i need to have auto updates on my WordPress and even more important: i need to have the options to upload theme-demos:
so can i do this with your plugin:
i want to have the option to upload theme-demo-packages from
Jobify-theme: https://kb.astoundify.com/article/380-installing-demo-content/
With Jobify 3.3+, and the usage of the new automatic content importer.
With this importer, you can import all the demo data as well as configure all your plugins, pages, and theme settings with one click.
jobscout-theme-demo: see https://rarathemes.com/wordpress-themes/jobscout-pro/
Can i do this with your plugin!? Love to hear from you
Regards
]]>I got error when active the plugin on PHP 8.0.x
]]>The plugin does not have a valid header.
I have several websites where it’s been obvious that delayed updates aren’t respected and are applied immediately.
I think that the option to delay updates can really be handy, specially these days where so many plugins get published with broken code.

On all of my sites, the plugins are not updated. All of the sites have 2 plugins in common: NinjaFirewall and LiteSpeed Cache. And on a site with only 4 plugins My Private Site is the third one.
On the status page, everything is green and there are no issues detected.
I would say NinjaFirewall and your plugin are not compatible but I can’t test it. I’m not going to get rid of NinjaFirewall.
Any ideas why the plugins are not updated?

Fantastic plugin! Thank you very much.
One question, we have these empty in our WP events:
cau_custom_hooks_plugins
cau_custom_hooks_themes
They have no action associated to them. Are you aware of this?
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi
It seems like the plugin stopped working July 31 2021. It said the plugins latest update what on that date even though it says a lot of the plugins need to be updated.
It has worked fine for months.
How do I fix this?
