Forced Auto Update Controller

Enable automatic updates only on domains matching a pattern you specify, even under version control systems such as Git and SVN. Sites managed under version control (Git, SVN, etc.) usually disable WordPress's automatic updates, because core intentionally skips them for VCS checkouts. That protects your deployed codebase, but it also means security patches for core, plugins, and themes silently stop applying. Forced Auto Update Controller lets you specify one or more production domain patterns. When the current site matches, the plugin overrides the VCS check so automatic updates function as WordPress intends — while leaving every other environment (local, staging, etc.) untouched. You can also exclude specific plugins or themes from automatic updates, and optionally hide the WordPress core update notification once auto-updates are confirmed to be working. 1. Upload the forced-auto-update-controller folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the \'Plugins\' menu in WordPress. 3. This plugin is not listed on WordPress.org. As of 1.8.0, it can be updated directly from the Plugins screen like any other plugin: WordPress checks Gi
