Automatic Updates in WP 3.8.1

[Dave Adams]

I started receiving all these weird messages from a few of the websites I maintain like “Howdy! Your site at http://imagesinafricasafaris.com has been updated automatically to WordPress 3.8.1.”

This totally puzzled me.  And then I got a message from a site I had BPS pro installed and panic set in.  Holy crap!

Sure enough BPS did it’s job and quarantined a pile of files.  To my surprise the website was still functional (relief).

I hope I did the right thing.   I checked all files and did a restore.  Then I reset the db to clear the messages.

I guess next time I better:

/** Disable All Automatic Updates */
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
/** That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

I hope others had the same good luck as mine.

If you have at least BPS Pro version 7.7 installed then WordPress files would not be quarantined when a WordPress automatic update occurs.  As of BPS Pro 7.7 – ARQ Automation was added.  The current version of BPS Pro is 8.2.  Please upgrade BPS Pro on your site if you have an older version installed.

ARQ Automation as of BPS Pro 7.7
