## Description

Auto Update is built for site owners who want WordPress to stay current without 
logging in to run updates manually.

It keeps WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated automatically, which helps 
reduce maintenance work, apply security fixes sooner, and keep the site closer to
the latest stable releases.

Once activated, it enables both minor and major core updates and allows installed
plugins and themes to update in the background.

There is no settings page. Activate the plugin and let WordPress handle updates 
automatically.

## Installation

In most cases you can install automatically from WordPress.org.

However, if you install this manually, follow these steps:
 1. Create the directory‘
auto-update’ in your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Upload all plugin files
to the newly created directory 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu
in WordPress

Note: There is no «control panel» for this plugin.
