With many sites, it’s just not appropriate to have one single global schedule and automatically update everything in the same way. I have some sites where I want absolutely everything automatically updated right away. And some sites that are more temperamental that I want to update manually almost entirely. I may want certain plugins or themes or WP automatically updated on some sites and not others. So it isn’t a matter of simply marking a plugin as trusted, because I still want to only auto-update it selectively.
Use cases:
For dev, staging, blueprint sites: update absolutely everything automatically right away.
For basic care plans (mostly automated care): update most things automatically.
For higher level plans: update only core plugins like MainWP itself and backup and security tools automatically, everything else is manual.
For highest level plans: almost no automatic updates except maybe security tools. I need to be able to check them in real time.
The only way I can do this sort of thing is to not use MainWP for anything automatic at all, and just use WordPress itself to set some plugins on automatic. This is not ideal because eventually I need MainWP to do things like run backups beforehand and even run tests afterward to check if it was successful (if that’s possible).
Individual site rules, or even rules based on tags or other filters, would be most useful!
