Update Pilot

Update Pilot Take command of WordPress auto-updates: choose what updates, schedule when, delay risky releases, and get a truthful log of everything that happened. Update Control - Choose what updates on its own: WordPress core (minor, major and development branches separately), plugins, themes and translation files - Exclude individual plugins and themes, with the exclusion list and the native Auto-updates column kept in agreement in both directions - Leave anything unmanaged and Update Pilot steps aside completely, rather than forcing updates off behind WordPress's back - Import an existing Companion Auto Update configuration without touching a single row of its data Scheduling & Safety - Set a maintenance window — anything Update Pilot manages updates only inside it, including during the update passes WordPress starts on its own; windows may cross midnight. Types you leave unmanaged keep WordPress's own behaviour, window included - Exclude days of the week, so "never on a Friday" is one checkbox - Ask for an update pass at a chosen hour and recurrence, from hourly to monthly, without taking over any WordPress cron event - Hold a new release for 1 to 90 days after it fir
