Enable Auto-update for some plugins

  • Hi,

    I know let WordPress to auto update all plugins may be unsecure. However, is there a way to auto-update some specific plugins?

    The WordFence is able to auto-update itself, so I think there should be a way to auto-update other plugins as well.

    What makes you think auto-update is not secure ??

    You can use the machine name of the plugin, and add this function to your functions.php file in your child theme :

    function cb_auto_update_plugins ( $update, $item ) {
	$plugins = array ( 'plugin-one', 'plugin-two' );
	if ( in_array( $item->slug, $plugins ) ) {
		// update plugin
		return true; 
	} else {
		// use default settings
		return $update; 
	}
}
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', 'cb_auto_update_plugins', 10, 2 );

    Or this plugin may give you some of that control :
