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,
This ticket was discussed during the bug scrub.
This has not been reproduced in versions since 5.1.1. Note: If this were an issue in Core, it would occur with every new plugin/theme auto-update.
Given that, it was decided in the bug scrub to close this ticket as
worksforme
. If there are any continued issues that can't be tracked to a WordPress Core problem, please head on over to the support forums for some help from the folks there.
