Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kanenas — Minor/Patch Auto-Updates

Yes, for automatic-update decisions. This plugin can only allow/block the final auto-update decision after an update has already been discovered by the vendor updater. If a premium update is not detected at all, the cause is usually in that vendor's update/auth stack and not in this plugin.

The plugin classifies versions as minor_or_patch, major, or unknown. If a version cannot be categorized safely, it now defers to WordPress's existing auto-update decision instead of forcing allow/deny.

Yes. If you enable both the native "Enable auto-updates" and "Enable auto-updates minor/patch" options, the minor/patch setting will take precedence and block major version updates.

Yes. eaump_bypass_plugin_update_gate - bypass this plugin's gate for a specific plugin update object. eaump_bypass_theme_update_gate - bypass this plugin's gate for a specific theme update object. eaump_debug_log_updates - enable JSON decision logs (defaults to WP_DEBUG). If your premium updater has custom version formats or non-standard metadata, use a bypass filter to defer to core/vendor logic for that item. Troubleshooting premium updater flows Confirm the premium updater detects an available update first. Check whether your item is opted into "auto-updates minor/patch". Enable debug logging with eaump_debug_log_updates and inspect decision reason codes. If needed, add a targeted bypass via eaump_bypass_plugin_update_gate or eaump_bypass_theme_update_gate.

On the Plugins screen, WordPress may invoke auto_update_plugin for every row using metadata where the offered version equals the installed version (no pending upgrade). In that case you will see reason: defer_same_version_no_pending_upgrade — it does not mean an update failed; it means there was nothing to upgrade in that pass.

Yes. Disabling minor/patch removes that plugin/theme from core auto_update_plugins / auto_update_themes, matching the enable action which opted it in.

Yes, it supports WordPress multisite installations.
