Automatic update?

    Hi,

    The last two versions of spamshield have been automatically applied to two of my sites, the decision to update has been taken out of my hands.

    Is there any particular reason for this? Normally I’m told there is an update available and I get to test it first and then decide when to update.

    Hi Paul,

    WP-SpamShield works within the WordPress update API, so all of that is controlled and executed by WordPress, but settings can be set by the user.

    WP-SpamShield’s default is to automatically update. (Users were frequently requesting that feature, so we added that default a while back.) Due to the nature of anti-spam and security, it is important to always keep the plugin up to date. Also, when any issues get reported that may affect multiple users, we fix them immediately.

    The actual behavior on your specific site depends on your site’s settings. For more info, please see this article as it explains how to control the WordPress update API in a bit more depth:
    WordPress Codex: Configuring Automatic Background Updates

    Also, you can adjust the settings for each plugin, theme, and WordPress via the Easy Updates Manager plugin (which we highly recommend). It gives you granular control over everything.

    I hope this info helps!

    If you have any further questions, we’ll be happy to help. Just head on over the the WP-SpamShield Support page and drop us a line. (That is our main support venue, not the forums here.) Be sure to check out the Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs as well. Over 90% of issues that users come across are covered in those.

    Have a good one!

    – Scott
