I know how to exclude folders from ARQ. I’m not sure if you answered my question. It seems you were focused on the fact that plugins are excluded from quarantine. My question has to do with the effect of updating a plugin automatically from outside of the normal wordpress process (ManageWP allows me to bulk update multiple sites and plugins all at once). ManageWP will not go back and click the button that I have to click after updating plugins so I’m not sure what the effect will be on my site.
