Description
Hello, for some reason automatic theme and plugin updates don't appear to be working using the instructions from the Codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates
I created a must use plugin per the Codex instructions and verified the plugin is present and activated:
<?php add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' ); add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );
I ensured that automatic updates are *not* disabled in wp-config.php
I also tried adding the filters directly to the theme's functions.php with no luck.
I have tried manually kicking off the update checker and waiting over night, but still no plugins or themes are updated.
I enabled debug + logging in wp-config to try and see what was happening, but I'm not getting any output
If this is not a bug, but a problem on my end, I would appreciate any help on how to further troubleshoot the issue.
Thank you,
