 * Hi there, I use and love Advanced Automatic Updates, it updates my WordPress,
   theme and any and all plugins EXCEPT BackupBuddy, a premium plugin which I have
   bought and like.
 * Any ideas why Advanced Automatic Updates won’t automatically update my BackupBuddy,
   even tho licensing information has been inputted?
 * Thanks kindly,
 * Jodi

 * Hi Jodi!
 * Advanced Automattic Updates uses WordPress’ core update routines to do the updates–
   plugins hosted on WordPress.org are registered with these routines automatically,
   but 3rd party plugins need to register themselves manually. I wrote a tutorial
   about this, here:

 * If you’d like to see BackupBuddy take advantage of these routines, please pass
   this link on to the BackupBuddy developers. You’re also welcome to pass on my
   email address (gary@pento.net), I’m happy to work with them if they run into 
   any problems.

 * Thank you! I have passed this along to the powers that be at BackupBuddy! Your
   quick reply was appreciated!
    🙂 Jodi
