Topic : Custom Script Auto Upgrade Option

Posted By: Organic on March 25, 2014, 7:15 am

Hi. I put together a custom script package based on the WordPress script package included with Softaculous. It is minimally modified with only a few additions (primarily themes). I used all the current files from the /wp directory in /var/softaculous.

I would like the ability to enable auto upgrade for all WordPress installations using this custom script. When I go into Softaculous in cPanel, I do not see the option to Auto Upgrade WordPress for accounts which used my custom script, even though the custom script includes all files from the original /wp WordPress Softaculous script.

Upgrade notifications work. When I update the WordPress files in the custom script directory, the account is presented with the option to upgrade WordPress, and the upgrade process works. But auto upgrade is not an option when I go to Edit Installation Details.

How can I enable auto upgrades for this custom script? Many thanks!

Hi,

At the moment it is not possible. We will try to add it in the next version of Softaculous.

Thanks,

That would be an important piece of functionality for us. Thanks for trying to add it in. Should I make a post in the suggestions forum or will this post suffice?

Hi James,

Hello, my softaculous version is 4.6.4 and I have created a custom WP installation script. I don't see the option for auto upgrading, but I do see the auto upgrade plugins and themes.

Is there something I have to enable to get the auto upgrade option?
Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please check if the following tag exists in the upgrade.xml :

Code
<auto_upgrade>1</auto_upgrade>

Yes, that tag exists. Here is the text in the upgrade.xml file:

Code

<softupgrade xmlns="http://www.softaculous.com">

        <settings>

                <group>

                           <heading>hidden</heading>

                        <input type="hidden" name="dummy" value="">

                        </input>

                </group>

        </settings>

        <setuplocation>wp-admin/upgrade.php</setuplocation>

        <auto_upgrade>1</auto_upgrade>

</softupgrade>
