Auto updates for plugins not working

    I’ve got WP 4.2.2 and I have autoupdate set for both core and plugins. Odd thing is that it doesn’t update all my plugins. In particualar I have some commercial ones and it doesnt update those. My settings in wp-config.php are:

    // Update core – minor versions
    define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, ‘minor’ );

    // Update plugins
    add_filter( ‘auto_update_plugin’, ‘__return_true’ );

    // Update themes
    add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_true’ );

    Am I going blind or have I misread the documentation? Any pointers?

    Try manually updating those using FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Huh!?

    That isn’t my question. The point of auto-update is to update ON ITS OWN. =) I know I can manually update… =P

    Any one have any ideas?

    Hi Joseph,

    It depends on the authors of a commercial plugin. If they have no auto update mechanism in place, you won’t see any new updates from them.
    Quite a few commercial software houses do enable automatic updates, but it’s not the general rule.
