Security fixes shouldn't wait for someone to find time. Automated Safe Updates applies them as soon as they're available, with a verified restore point before every update and an automatic rollback if the site fails its health check.
Available on every plan, at no extra cost.
Every WordPress site needs a steady stream of plugin, theme, and core updates, and a good share of them close security holes that already have a fix. The longer they wait on someone's to-do list, the longer the site stays exposed.
So you either apply them by hand, site by site, and stay around to check nothing broke. Or you switch on automatic updates and hope: hands-off, but if one breaks the site overnight there's nobody watching, nothing to roll back to, and it stays broken until someone notices.
Staying current stops being a gamble. If an update fails the health check, Wordify automatically restores the previous version.
We take a restore point and verify it before anything changes. If it can't be verified, nothing happens, and the update waits for the next run.
The update runs inside your update window. Security fixes can go out as soon as they're available instead of waiting for tonight.
We load the site before and after the update and compare what comes back, so a page that has broken or gone missing is caught.
If an update fails the health check, Wordify automatically restores the previous version and puts that release on hold. A newer release is tried as normal.
When an update closes a known vulnerability, it goes out as soon as it's available instead of waiting for tonight. Prefer to hold it for the next window? That's a setting too.
Routine updates run inside an update window, a quiet period you control per site or for the whole team. Until you set one, it's 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM UTC every day. Running a sale or a launch? Add a blackout period and nothing changes on that site for those dates.
WordPress core has its own setting: Minor & security only (recommended), All updates including major releases, or Off. A cautious operator can keep core on minor releases while every plugin stays current.
Every plugin and theme has an Update automatically switch. Anything switched off waits for you. Plugins and themes you add later are kept updated by default, and you can change that per site or for the whole team.
Each run appears on your Tasks page, including runs where nothing needed doing. Open one and you see the outcome for every update, the version it moved from and to, and each safeguard that ran. Anything that needs a decision from you lands in Site Health on the Dashboard.
Outcomes are plain words: Applied, Didn't apply, Not attempted, Waiting, or Rolled back. What each one means →
Nothing to install, either. Your sites are already connected to Wordify, so there's no connector plugin to keep authorised and in sync.

No. It's available on every Wordify plan at no extra cost.
No. It's enabled automatically for new sites, and you choose which existing sites to include: from the site's Updates page, or tick several sites on the Sites list and choose Turn on Automated Safe Updates. Staging and development sites start off unless you include them.
We take a verified restore point before every update and load the site before and after to compare what comes back. If an update fails the health check, Wordify automatically restores the previous version and puts that release on hold until a newer version arrives.
We won't apply updates to a site that's returning errors. Updates pause for that site, our team is alerted, and you're told. Once the site is healthy again, updates resume on their own. There's nothing to switch back on.
Yes. Core has its own setting on every site: Minor & security only (recommended), All updates (including major), or Off. With core off, core updates are still listed for you to apply yourself.
Security fixes go out as soon as they're available by default; you can hold them for the next window instead. Routine updates run inside an update window you control, per site or as a team default. Until you set one, it's 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM UTC every day.
Yes. Plugins, themes, and WordPress core all go through the same restore point, apply, and health check steps. Each plugin and theme has its own Update automatically switch.
Any time, from the site's Updates page. Control goes straight back to you and nothing else on the site changes.
The setup guide walks through every setting, and the launch post has the full story.
Available on every plan. Enabled automatically for new sites; choose which existing sites to include, one at a time or in bulk from the Sites list.
