Wordpress Toolkit automatic update defaults to minor/no/no (core/plugins/themes), and when it first is accessed in WHM it scans for all installations and attaches them. It also modifies wp-config.php WITHOUT a way (yet) to detach them en-mass (shame on you!). Typically (often) Softaculous is also installed and was likely the installer for the WP install, and has its own set of automatic update settings.
1- If a WP installation is detached (one-at-a-time Grrrr!) the next time a scan is run it is re-attached! How can this be prevented? I assume a new installation must be scanned for in order to show up in WPTK, unless it is installed from within WPTK, correct? (It appears that removing WP from Softaculous would be expected to prevent this, but seems unlikely to assume hosts would do that.)
2- If BOTH WPTK and Softaculous are installed, and their automatic update settings conflict, what is the result? Would it be the highest privileges that prevail? Am I correct in assuming they are two different systems entirely that will BOTH redundantly run?
3- If a host wants to remove WP from Softaculous (to prevent confusion and redundancy), how is that done completely? I assume simply removing it as a package option in Softaculous would not remove things that it set up (like updating and backups), correct?
4- Related to #3, I see no way to automate backups in WPTK. Am I missing something? Without that, good luck with getting people to remove WP from Softaculous!
