Free Plug-ins
Auto Update Your WordPress Installation with Easy WP Installer
I don’t know about you but updating all my WordPress blogs to the latest edition of WordPress is not only time consuming but plain exhausting. And let’s not forget that sometimes you make a mistake and delete a folder that you shouldn’t have, and things get more complicated. Now there are paid plug-ins that allow you to auto update your WordPress blog, but the good folks at Fun Scripts have written a freeware that essentially takes care of the most of the process.
All you have to do is install Easy WP Installer. You are then presented with a form that contains your DB and connnection information. Once you have entered the correct information, you can set this and almost forget it. It’s a very easy to use Plug-in and a must have if you want to keep up with the latest WordPress updates.
If you have been hacked before, you know how important it is to stay out of trouble and protect your blog. Easy WP Installer is not a hacker buster but it does put the latest WordPress patches on your blog. I am just not sure why the guys who wrote this are not charging us for it.
