 * I installed the plugin but it doesn’t seem to be working. I got a notification
   from Wordfence that my plugins need updated so I waited for a couple days and
   they are still needing updates.

 * This plugin just turns on [automatic background updates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates)
   for plugins, so WordPress handles the actual updates, not the plugin. If you 
   can point to some issue with the plugin we can look into that, but it is likely
   the issue is occurring within WordPress and not the plugin.
 * You wouldn’t receive any emails if the updates are not happening, since those
   are sent by WordPress when the updates happen.
