Automatic background updates were introduced in WordPress 3.7 in an effort to promote better security, and to streamline the update experience overall. By default, only minor releases – such as for maintenance and security purposes – and translation file updates are enabled on most sites. In special cases, plugins and themes may be updated.
You can set WordPress to automatically install all plugin updates by simply adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );
This filter tells WordPress automatic updater to automatically install plugin updates when they’re available.
If you also want to automatically update your themes, then you can add another code like this:
1. disable FTP commands from config.php
2. add to config.php
// Update core define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );
optionally for Synology NAS
# reset chown for Synology user nobody
chown -R nobody:nobody /web/wordpress/dir
# reset files and folders chmod in /web/wordpress/dir
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;write in .htaccess and change example\.com with your domain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?wp-login\.php(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]
