 * Last night my site was auto updated and now I am UNABLE TO CHANGE/EDIT while 
   editing a post or page:
    permalink names (clicking results in nothing) Link Creation(
   clicking results in nothing)
 * this is just the two I found int he first couple of minutes of updating. As a
   reference, my other sites that have yet to auto update are still working fine.
   My other sites that have also updated (using different templates)have the same
   issues…
 * HELP!!

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * I was under the impression this was NOT an auto update…that’s what it said on
   my dashboard…yet it has updated all on it’s own.
 * Perhaps we should have the opportunity to update MANUALLY….since that’s what 
   it said. Then we could wait till all the BUGS were worked out instead of messing
   things us!!

 * Major point releases, x.x, 4.2 in this case, are not automatic updates unless
   otherwise configured via a modifcation to wp-config.php or a plugin.
 * With that said though, some hosting providers do force all updates automatically.
 * If you were updated to 4.2 automatically, and had not configured WordPress to
   do so, you’ll have to take that up with your hosting provider.
