1. Opens a browser
2. Logs in to WP dashboard
3. Checks to see if any of core, plugin, and theme updates are available — if yes do update
4. Logs out from the dashboard

Prerequisites

• Python 3 or above
• Pipenv
• ChromeDriver

Installation

1. Download and extract the zip file or use Git to clone this repository.

2. Inside the directory open a terminal and run:

   pipenv install

Usage

   python wpupdater.py
