AutoUpdate

Hey markwordpress1,

You can read more about automatic updates by clicking here. There is a WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE constant or filters you could try.

There’s also the Easy Updates Managerplugin, which allows you to manage the various updates.

I’m sure someone else might be able to explain why you’re having this issue. I know that as of the 5.5 update, auto-updates of themes and plugins now show up inside the WordPress dashboard screen.

Hi,

Try with this plugin

Adding another plugin might work but then we would have yet another place to manage all the updates for our sites. That would be a last resort.

We’ll try disabling the auto_update_core and see if that works. All our sites are 5.5 and it looks like 5.5.1 is rolling out right now ignoring the disabled auto_updater setting.

Thanks for the tip on core!

You’re welcome! Hopefully the core constant fixes your problem!
