 * The plugin is set to “Automatic update” – but it is the only one of all the plugins
   that doesn’t work. One ALWAYS have to update the damn plugin MANUALLY.
   If you
   ask the developer => you won’t get an answer – they don’t seem to need it or 
   they’re too arrogant for it… Is there another recommended plugin THAT AUTOMATICALLY
   UPDATES?

 * Hi [@max5150](https://wordpress.org/support/users/max5150/),
   Thanks for reaching
   out, and sorry for the frustration.Burst does auto-update, but with a 24-hour
   delay after each release. This is a phased rollout option offered by WordPress.
   org: the new version first goes out to a smaller group of users: manual updates
   only.
 *  If something unexpected shows up, we can fix it before everyone has updated.
   With 200,000+ active installs, that small safety window meaningfully improves
   release quality.
   So if you wait 24 hours after a release, Burst will update automatically
   just like your other plugins. In the meantime, a manual update always works.Let
   me know if you have any other questions!
