Auto Upgrade Core Settings

Choose your auto upgrade settings for WordPress core. You can choose from the following options and Softaculous will perform the updates accordingly:
1. Do not Auto Upgrade
2. Upgrade to Minor versions only (i.e. 5.5.1 will be upgraded to 5.5.x and not 5.6.x)
3. Upgrade to latest version available Major as well as Minor (i.e. 5.5.1 will be upgraded to 5.5.x until there is a new major version available and 5.6.x when available)
Just choose your preference and it will be automatically saved and you will see a success message.
