    Hello,
    So I’ve been getting on pretty much all of my websites this message:

    “The following constants are set and will prevent automatic updates in Easy Updates Manager.
    please check your wp-config.php file or other files for these constants and remove them to allow Easy Updates Manager to have control.
    WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE: This constant prevents automatic updates to new major release of WordPress”

    Here’s a screenshot of it, too: https://imgur.com/pRAFTaQ

    What exactly am I supposed to do, to make the plugin work again?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    The warning (regarding the ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’) indicates that automatic updates for the WordPress core files (i.e. updates for WordPress itself) have been enabled or disabled in the wp-config.php file. As such, EUM will not be able to override these settings.

    If you wish to automatically update WordPress using the plugin, you will need to ask your site admin to remove that constant from the wp-config.php file.

    If you attempt to update Easy Updates Manager, does this succeed?

    Regards,
    Bryle

    @onsolution I would contact your host and have them remove the constant from your wp-config file.
