   Hi
   Is this plug-in still OK? I can't find any links to it in the plug in page, and am wondering if there are any issues with it with WP 3.1.3 or later? I always found it very convenient, but not entirely perfect.

   I can't find it in the official plugin database, and it might be because the plugin hasn't been updated in a long time. For example his site at:

   http://techie-buzz.com/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade-plugin.html

   Was last updated on that topic many years ago and talks about WP version 2.7. If you look at the newest comments on that page nothing is showing up too.

   What version are you trying to upgrade?

   Thanks, Ben

   Thanks Ben,
   I've used that plug-in to upgrade my sites for several years, as I've previously had trouble updating WordPress. Is there a need at all for a plug-in like this. Is the built in updater OK. I certainly remember it having issues, that's why I originally found that plug-in and ostensibly why it existed in the first place.

   Gotcha, we built a web app that will keep WordPress auto upgraded so you don't have to do anything too -> http://www.webpub.com

   It pushes the updates out within 24 to 48 hours too,
   Thanks, Ben

   Does it also backup the database before upgrading? I couldn't see anywhere about backup..

   It doesn't currently, we have the feature turned off for beta. We are going to turn it on as well as snapshots for in 30 days when it exits beta.

   Thanks, Ben
