  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

What does the WordPress Updates on/off button actually do?

Kroptokin

Regular Pleskian
So. Plesk has a button to enable or not enable automatic updates of WordPress installations it knows about.

What does this do?

I toggled it and it didn't seem to effect the setting in my wp-config.php file:

//--- disable auto upgrade
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

which remained like that whatever I did to the Plesk button.

Nor does it seem to set this setting either way:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

So. Is it something independent of WordPress? I.e. Plesk goes and gets the updates and applies them? If so - what updates is it getting - major changes or just minor ones?

Thanks
