    Hi Anh,

    I have always been very grateful to Meta Box and your support.

    The Meta Box that was giving me errors had automatic updates disabled since last year's update. It is not that old.
    We would appreciate it if you could provide a final resolution to the issue regarding automatic updates.

    Hi Tran,

    >> Has it been improved in the latest version and can it be enabled/disabled at will?

    Another client's site crashed.
    Somehow, could you please return the WordPress core standard to be configurable in individual plugins, in line with the specification, so that the automatic updates of extended plugins can be freely stopped and enabled?

    Many client sites continue to collapse and are very difficult to deal with.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Yumiko

    Hi Tran,

    I always appreciate your plugins.

    I have been asking for this for a while now, but is it difficult to achieve the display of update settings for extended plugins?

    The rectangle in the following image shows the function of the area enclosed by the rectangle.
    Only Metabox, unlike other plugins, does not follow WordPress core functionality.

    If we decide not to support this, we will be forced to stop updating plugins throughout.
    There have been a number of collapses of the Metabox functionality, and the prime contractor is working on an emergency response plan.

    We are currently looking into measures to minimize the damage to the corporate site as much as possible. We would like to continue to recommend metabox, so please let us know how you plan to handle this issue.

    Thanks and regards,
    Yumikom

    Hi,

    Is it possible to enable the automatic update feature for Meta Box AIO?

    As the person responsible for maintaining and managing security updates for this plugin,
    I would like to see automatic updates enabled.

    Thanks and regards,
    Yumikom

    Hello Yumiko,

    While waiting for the update feature of Meta Box AIO, I suggest you have a staging site, the update Meta Box AIO or any plugins or themes there. You can verify the staging site and update plugins on the production site.

    Hi Peter,

    We have been conducting verification operations on staging sites for many years.

    However, when it comes to recent vulnerability countermeasures, I feel that the tasks you recommend are not realistic for operations managers responsible for managing hundreds of sites.

    Have you considered a solution that ensures sites remain intact even after automatic updates?

    I believe that automatic updates with full backward compatibility are the most desirable solution.

    The long-standing issue of sites not supporting automatic updates has been a source of concern for me.

    I would appreciate it if you could give this some consideration.
