Thanks for your feedback. I’m deactivating the Site Health plugin.

Good idea. However, I still get the problem when I disable all my plugins (except Site Health of course).

Also, if the health-check plugin is active, there is an error when a manual WordPress
update is done, but if the plugin is disabled, the update gets through without any issue.

Should I just ignore the error message? If I can update OK without the plugin?

Oops. I forgot to mention that I did update WordPress to reinstall the core files — as you suggested. I’m still getting the strange message from Site Health.

This is working now! I figured out that I had to set the page layout to be “Theme” for each page. I was using “Elementor Canvas” and it wasn’t working.

So, the first problem was solved. There was a remnant “.maintenance” file on the site that was causing the “An automated WordPress update has failed to complete -please attempt the update again now” Once this was removed, the message stopped.

However, I still have a problem with an error message from the WordPress Site Health plugin. “A plugin has prevented updates by disabling wp_version_check()”

What does this message mean and how can I troubleshoot it? I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.
