Mass update plugins and themes automatically
Hello,
In some cases, I would like to mass update plugins and themes automatically for all WordPress installs on the server. Currently, you have to
- Goto Installations Tab
- Change "Update plugins automatically" from "No" to "Yes".
- Change "Update themes automatically" from "No" to "Yes".
- Click the "Ok" button

+1 I believe this is an existing feature in Plesk from where cPanel ported the WP manager so this would be quite useful to have it here as well. 0 -
I've reached out to the powers-that-be to see what we've got cooking in the future...I'll let you know! 0 -
Alright - at this time there isn't such a change planned to the WHM-level so it would be best to submit a feature request using the link in my signature. 0 -
What about adding wp-cron.php to sort/filter so admin can easily identify which accounts have native WP-cron disabled and which ones that do not. That would be useful too. 0 -
Are you saying that should be a global tool as well? If so, that's another feature request. 0 -

I'm not saying it should because not EVERYONE will find it useful but I bet the majority of cPanel customers will find it useful. I already asked Softaculous and they said they are going to add the things I mentioned as it makes sense. And Softaculous add things quickly when requested. Why should an admin set up a new server and import 40-100 WordPress sites onto the server and have to be going around in WHM/cPanel accounts at different locations to enable/disable wp-config.php or enabling/disabling automatic updates for plugins and themes or CMS cores!? Easy to do with mass update buttons. I won't bother with feature requests because they can sit there for several years. Hopefully, enough customers request it, and cPanel will add it at some point.0
