### 󠀁[works very well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-very-well-311/)󠁿

 [MichaelDean](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michaeldean/) March 30, 2018

I was doubtful, so I left the email alerts enabled at first. Once I confirmed it
worked, I disabled that feature. Doesn’t update immediately, usually within a half
day, sometimes a day, but that’s fine. With the number of sites I have, this is 
a real time saver.

### 󠀁[Works Perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-1144/)󠁿

Great extension. Not sure why anyone has a bad word to say about this. It just works.
Install, activate. Job done.

### 󠀁[Easy to use & perfect for auto maintenance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-use-perfect-for-auto-maintenance/)󠁿

This plugin is perfect for clients who didn’t want maintenance support but you want
to have their website up to date. Very easy to use and I love that you can hide 
this plugin from others admin users. But, need to be careful if you are using custom
theme, automatic plugins updates can break your site.
