In reply to: [Update Control] Bad UI logicAnyway, I have now reinstalled, and the UI seems fine.
Great to hear!
Is the default settings he same as core defaults?
Yes, and with any potential future updates, the intent will be to keep the Plugin’s defaults consistent with core defaults.

In reply to: [Update Control] What does "Permit Automatic Plugin Updates" do?Are you sure?
Searching WP 3.7.1 for hooks:
auto_update_plugin
auto_update_themeYou’re searching for the wrong hook name. The filter is applied as
auto_update_$typeSo as far as I can tell, those settings do nothing.
I’ve already watched Plugins update automatically while returning
truetoauto_update_plugin.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Update Control] Bad UI logicPlease delete and reinstall the Plugin. Version 1.2.1 no longer has a “Permit Automatic Updates?” checkbox. It has been converted to a select dropdown.
It would appear that your update did not happen successfully/completely – or else you might have a caching issue?
Awesome. We’ll give that a spin!
What about renaming as “Advanced Settings”, and change the dropdown to “Show” and “Hide”?
It’s intentional. I’m trying to keep the UI as simple/uncluttered as possible. I’m not a UI person, so I ran with the “Chrome” model for automatic updates. In Chrome, “advanced settings” are always hidden, unless you click the link. So, I’m trying the same thing here.
It’s all experimental; I could change it if it becomes too tedious.
Okay, I just pushed version 1.2, which adds a toggle for advanced options, and introduces options to disable the VCS check, and to enable the debug email.

In reply to: [Update Control] What does "Permit Automatic Plugin Updates" do?It does exactly as advertised: allow WordPress to update Plugins automatically.
The functionality is offered in core, but is disabled by default. The Plugin simply filters the core behavior to enable automatic Plugin updates.

In reply to: [Update Control] Own options pageHide/Show toggle thingy could be compromise.
That’s what I’m kicking around right now: a show/hide toggle for “advanced” options.
I am at least 🙂
I thought that might be the case. 🙂
Let me think about how best to add it.

In reply to: [Update Control] Own options pageAt this time I have no plans to add a separate options page.

In reply to: [Update Control] MultisiteI may add in a
is_main_site()conditional check, just for the sake of performance on a multisite netowrk; but otherwise, the Plugin works just fine when activated on the main site on a multisite network.I’ve thought about it – along with the debug email filter.
But if someone is running from VCS, are they likely even to bother with this Plugin, rather than just rolling their own
add_filter()calls?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Update Control] PHP NoticesThis should be resolved in version 1.1.3, just pushed to SVN. Please let me know if you observe any other PHP notices.

In reply to: [Update Control] PHP NoticesThanks for the report. I’ll have to look into this one. I’ve mostly adopted this one from George, and kept his class method.
