Updates prevented error

  • Per a previous post, when I thought things were resolved, I am still having issues with WordPress not updating or something. I have deleted all plugins, reset file permissions in GoDaddy, and the site is running ok. But, I still am seeing these errors, and I am constantly prompted to “click here” because the WP database is “updating” or something.

    Here is the error I’m getting:
    ———-
    Error A plugin has prevented updates by disabling wp_version_check().
    Passed No version control systems were detected.
    Passed Your installation of WordPress doesn’t require FTP credentials to perform updates.

    Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The trouble is there are a number of ways to disable updates and/or version check so it’s hard to know exactly what to look for. Check wp-config.php and /wp-includes/mu-plugins/*.php files for code content that might do this. Especially code involving the words “version”, “update” or “upgrade”.

    Use FTP to correct the permissions for those files. Once you get updates working, it still may not work correctly without proper write access. The usual permissions are 755 for folders and 644 for files, though this can vary by server configuration.

    The database update message hopefully will correct itself once all else is working correctly. If not, and the last operational version is not very old, you might be able to cheat a little by directly altering the saved DB version value, bypassing the most recent changes which pertain to multisite. While this is not advisable, it does suppress the DB update message.

    Sorry, that’s just way over my head. At this point all I can think to do is keep getting the site ready and then go live, as this issue doesn’t seem to be affecting the site right now. My fear is that later on it will cause problems, and then what? Thanks.
