About RoboMaintainer

From the official readme · v1.1.0

Description

RoboMaintainer ist your personal auto pilot for WordPress plugin updates.

Features:
– Check for available updates
– Backup rollback plugins
– Run plugin updates
– Visually check for changes (before/after checks)
– Alert in case of detected changes

How it works:
RoboMaintainer continuously checks for available updates for your installed plugins. When updates are detected, it automatically initiates the safe update process, ensuring your plugins are always up-to-date without manual intervention or braking the page

Before updating a plugin, a backup of the current version is created. If visual differences are detected in the automatic before/after website check, the user can revert to the previous plugin version with a single click.

Daily, as well as before and after each update, the entire website undergoes visual checks to ensure it remains visually consistent and unchanged after updates.

Following every update and scheduled automatic check, you’ll receive an email with the results, keeping you informed and allowing you to review and take action if necessary.

Installation

Install and activate RoboMaintainer, visit Tools > RoboMaintainer and generate your API key.

1, 2, 3: You’re done!
