| 94 | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 95 | = Do you support older WordPress versions? = |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Version 6.x.x should support WP versions 4.0 and up. Version 4.7.0 should support WP versions 2.3 - 4.0. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Since WordPress is constantly changing, this plugin will always strive to support the latest version of WordPress. As there are many security vulnerabilities reported, please always keep WordPress as up-to-date as possible. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Unfortunately, we do not support older versions of WordPress or the non-current release of this plugin. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | = How do I change the WordPress update notification e-mail? = |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Go to the General tab in our settings. You can enter a single email address, or multiple if you comma-separate them. |

| 119 | = Does Easy Updates Manager work with third-party plugins and themes? = |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Since third-party providers use custom update mechanisms, we cannot always guarantee that they will work with Easy Updates Manager. Most will, but there are a number of common mistakes that plugin authors can make. |

| 127 | == Changelog == |
| 128 | |
| 129 | = 9.0.7 - 2020-12-17 = |
| 130 | |
| 131 | * TWEAK: Update jQuery document ready style to the one not deprecated in jQuery 3.0 |
| 132 | * TWEAK: Bump PHP requirement to 5.6+ |
| 133 | * TWEAK: Renamed UpdraftCentral's command classes filter |
| 134 | * TWEAK: extend white labelling to include safemode warning notices, webhook responses and WP 5.5's new "automatic upgrades" user-interface additions |
| 135 | * TWEAK: Removed MetaSlider notice in the notices collection |
| 136 | * TWEAK: An install was seen in which an interaction with some other component caused excessive logging |
| 137 | * TWEAK: Updating wording to be constant througout EUM. |
| 138 | * TWEAK: Manual core update showing correct to and from versions. |
| 139 | * TWEAK: Updating wording to be constant througout EUM. |
| 140 | * FIX: Auto-updates will trigger on managed hosts that disable version checking. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | = 9.0.6 - 2020-08-10 = |
| 143 | |
| 144 | * FIX: Fatal error in a template file |
| 145 | |
| 146 | = 9.0.5 - 2020-08-10 = |
| 147 | |
| 148 | * TWEAK: Some minor code improvements based on PHPCS analysis |
| 149 | * TWEAK: Updated seasonal notices |
| 150 | * TWEAK: Add WP 5.5 support. Since EUM's update management facilities are much more sophisticated than WP 5.5's new "automatic upgrades" user-interface additions, the new WP 5.5 options do not map simply onto existing EUM options. Thus the only way they can work together is if EUM replaces those additions with links back to the EUM controls. |
| 151 | |
| 152 | = 9.0.4 - 2020-04-27 = |
| 153 | |
| 154 | * FEATURE: Allow "every 3 hours" and "every 6 hours" options for the update frequency checks |

| 160 | * TWEAK: Updater will now make checks on availability without needing login |

| 162 | |
| 163 | = 9.0.2 - 2020-01-24 = |
| 164 | |
| 165 | * FIX: Auto-backup (Premium) feature disabled whilst an issue that could cause it to continually repeat is investigated |

| 168 | |

| 185 | * FIX: Delayed updates were delaying automatic updates to WordPress core when no delay was requested |
| 186 | * TWEAK: Divi theme can now be auto-upgraded. |
| 187 | * TWEAK: Bump required WP version from 4.6 to 4.7. We've not introduced anything to make it incompatible so it will likely stil work; but this is the support requirement. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | = 8.1.1 - 2019-10-23 = |
| 190 | |
| 191 | * FIX: Fixed uninstall script error when deleting the plugin. |

| 210 | * TWEAK: Prevent unnecessary PHP notice when controlling via UpdraftCentral |
| 211 | * TWEAK: Database logging is now always turned on, to aid troubleshooting. (The storage overhead is tiny, since updates are infrequent events compared with other things going on in a WP database). |
| 212 | * TWEAK: Update updater class to latest series (1.8) |
| 213 | * TWEAK: Automatic update emails are only sent once every twenty four hours. |

| 215 | = 8.0.5 - 2019-03-28 = |

| 224 | |
| 225 | * FIX: Prevent a conflict between EUM Premium and UpdraftPlus Premium when backing up WordPress core |
| 226 | * TWEAK: No longer use WP_DEBUG constant to indicate rapid refresh of updates when in admin area; instead, use EASY_UPDATES_MANAGER_DEBUG |
