    Hi – I use your plugin on around 30 sites where the WordPress auto-update option is turned off for all plugins. We use a manual process for updating plugins to ensure an efficient cache rebuild across sites on our dedicated server, and having the auto-update off is very important for this.

    I received 30 emails this morning alerting us that the Autoptimize plugin has auto-updated (despite WordPress auto-updates being turned off at WordPress level, site level, server level, cPanel level, and hosting level. (This has been confirmed). No other plugins have self updated in this way since this feature was included in the last WordPress update. Even instances where the Autoptimize plugin was not activated have auto-updated.

    Please can you ensure the Autoptimize plugin respects the WordPress settings when auto-updates are disabled? We have removed the Autoptimize plugin in the meantime and will reinstall it once this issue has been rectified.

    Thanks.

    That was pushed by the www.remarpro.com security/ plugins team, as versions before 2.7.7 had a security vulnerability for which exploits are about to be released thomastolkien.

    hope this clarifies,
