   support topic.

 * I have the same settings as persiusx (and had before the update too), plus at
   the end “Send Update Debug Emails?” that is unchecked.

 * Ditto what Fizzgigg wrote: same settings, same automatic update from 3.8 to 3.8.1(
   but happily it didn’t break my site).
 * I just want to add THANK YOU for writing this plugin. Even if it’s not working
   at the moment. 🙂 WP ought to have included this functionality when they introduced
   automatic updates.

 * I agree with Bill Statler. Auto update was a good thought, but forcing everybody
   to auto update was in my opinion a strange and bad decision.
    Thank for this 
   plugin, and I am confident we can sort this out. And later maybe even translations?
   🙂

 * Thanks for your patience, all. I found the issue, and it’s an easily-fixed bug
   with the Plugin. This line:
 *     ```
       if ( ! $options['active'] ) {
           add_filter( 'auto_upgrader_disabled', '__return_true', 1 );
           return; // It's all disabled, no need to check the others.
       }
       ```
   
 * The name of the filter is wrong. It should be `auto_updater_disabled`.
 * If I recall correctly, many of the filter names were changed during WordPress
   3.7 beta-testing prior to release. I missed this one. I apologize.
 * I’ll push out a fix immediately.

 * Just pushed version 1.3.1, which addresses this issue. Thanks again for your 
   patience!

 * [@persiusx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/persiusx/):
 * I also wanted to say: minor-version updates should _never_ “break” your site.
   They’re only bugfix/security releases. If your site broke somehow after a minor-
   version update, you should start a support topic for that site-breakage, in the
   appropriate forum:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform)
 * Please be sure to provide all relevant details, including:
 * 1. WordPress version before update
    2. WordPress version after update 3. Active
   Theme 4. Active Plugins 5. Any error messages received during/after update 6.
   Exact nature of the site breakage, with proper debugging

 * Excellent work with the update, Chip. The difference between a trustworthy developer
   and an untrustworthy one is not so much the ability to avoid mistakes, but the
   ability does deal with them as they appear. 🙂

 * Thank you for that.
 * If you’re looking for a developer who always avoids mistakes, you’re looking 
   in the wrong place. 🙂 But, I do my best to keep track of them, and correct them
   as soon as I can.
