# Plugin automatic updates

 * Hello!
    Sorry for my dumb question, but maybe someone can help me anyway 😉
 * I added: `add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );` on functions.php
   file of the active theme directory, but Jetpack plugin is still telling me it
   has an update available. What am I doing wrong? Why isn’t this code executing
   or when will it be executed?
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Damon H.

 *     ```
       add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );
       ```
   
 * Above filter automatically updates all themes. In order to update plugins automatically,
   you need to add another filter.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );
       ```
