Ive been looking at the above link in order to get automatic updates running on wordpress over ssh. Can anyone tell me if this is a safe thing to do ?

Is anyone else using automatic updates on wordpress ? is there any easy way to get this working ?

I usually just make the entire Wordpress directory temporarily owned by www-data, upgrade, then chown it back.

Never tried this method.

Could you paste the both commands you mention?

Thanks

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/domain/htdocs

Replace www-data with your webserver's user and then the filepath with your own filepath. The -R flag means recursive.
