Update WordPress site automatic update settings

This function configures a WordPress cPAddon instance's automatic updates settings. If you enable automatic updates for a legacy WordPress cPAddon instance, the function will convert it to use the RPM-based WordPress cPAddon.

Important:

This function changes the instance's automatic update setting in the wp-config.php file. Before you run this function, you should verify that a filter does not exist for the automatic update settings. Use the get_instance_by_id function and view the autoupdate.core.has_filter return to determine if a filter exists.

Note:

You must install the WordPress Manager cPanel plugin to access this API function.
