G’day all and strewth we’re super happy you liked Automate<\/a> so much maaaaate. And, as you did, we’ve doubled down our efforts to add in some pretty sweet improvements, starting with what we’re calling “Safe Upgrades.”<\/p>\n

Wanna take a look<\/a>? Thought so :)<\/p>\nWPMU DEV UPDATE\u00a0 — OCTOBER 2020<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>CHECK OUT THE NEW HUB TABS!<\/span><\/a>\n

Here’s what the new change means for Automate’s new updating process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Automate creates a backup of your site<\/li>\n
  2. Safe Upgrade takes a screen grab of your homepage<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. If that’s successful, Automate upgrades the plugins and themes you’ve selected as trusted (along with WordPress core)<\/li>\n
  4. Safe Upgrade checks your site is up and error-free (using our Uptime service)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Safe Upgrade takes a new\u00a0screen grab of your homepage and compares it with the original one<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. We send you an email with the happy news :) (plus it’s all stored in an activity log) including the uptime and error check AND the new screen grab with any % differences highlighted<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, we’re basically automatically testing how the upgrade went and immediately emailing you to let you know all about it… Check it out:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Successful
    It’s alllll gooooood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    However, if there are significant\u00a0changes, not only will we tell you the %, but we’ll also highlight them in jarring pink, so you don’t miss them (unless your website is entirely pink ;)<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Automate
    What’s up here fella?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Now, as you can tell above, the % difference is down to a massive slider, and we do make a note that sliders and other dynamic content may well make a difference. And hey, you can see it in the email so no drama there!<\/p>\n

    And it’s super, super easy to set up. In fact, we think it’s so\u00a0important that we’ve already done it for you :)<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Automate
    Doesn’t get much easier than that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Of course, you can configure the email that you want the email sent to and also the frequency. I like “immediately,” so I can see if there are any issues, but you can also get daily, weekly or monthly digests.<\/p>\n

    And, of course, there’s a complete log where you can now not only review updates and backups but also the screen grabs that Safe Upgrade has made!<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Automate
    A detailed log of every upgrade, just for you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Let us know how you like Safe Upgrades and any other new Automate features you’d like in\u00a0the comments, we can’t wait to get your feedback :)<\/p>\n

    And, if you’re not already a WPMU DEV member, why not try a membership<\/a> to see how we can\u00a0change your WordPress ways forever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
