 * Hi there Guys,
 * Today, 6th June 2013, I had a problem with Automatic Updater. We have built a
   number of website using WordPress. Over the last few days however I have noticed
   that Automatic Updater has not been updating the plugins on the websites. So 
   I have had to go in and manually do the updates. I decided to e-mail the developer,
   Gary Pendergast and ask if he had any ideas as to what the problem could be. 
   I gave him a list of the most common plugin we use on the site. Now, this is 
   why I am recommend this plugin – Gary came back quickly considering the time 
   difference between Southampton, UK and Melbourne, Australia, he gave me a solution
   which has worked perfectly. The problem we were experiencing was a small setting
   which needed to be changed in Better WP Security. Below I have included his instructions
   in case anyone else has the same problem. I would just like it on record that
   Gary has been very helpful and he has an excellent plugin in Automatic Updater.
 * To get Automatic Updater working again, in your wp-admin, go to Security -> System
   Tweaks, scroll down to “Dashboard Tweaks”, then make sure the “Hide Update Notifications”
   options are unchecked.
 * All the very best to everyone.
 * John
