Hi all

Thank you for your help. I have fixed the issue, although I am puzzled as to why SSL affects this.

Basically I was running an old version of PHP on all these sites, so I have upgraded to PHP 7 and it seems to have fixed all problems!

But why non-SSL sites were OK?

Also a few more things:

Communication with www.remarpro.com www.remarpro.com is reachable

WP_HOME Undefined
WP_SITEURL Undefined

Do we need these two variables set for SSL sites?

A few more things:

Communication with www.remarpro.com www.remarpro.com is reachable
WP_HOME Undefined
WP_SITEURL Undefined

Note: not sure if the two variables above must be defined when SSL is enabled?

Thank you!

This is one issue found by the Health Check…Looks like this could be it…But why?

Scheduled events A scheduled event (wp_scheduled_delete) has failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.

Thanks @gappiah.

I thought the auto-updates took place every 12 hours but obvioulsy not. When I removed SSL, the update happened within 10 minutes. It could be coincidence but i doubt it.

What I have done to remove SSL is this:
– Changed general settings https:// instead of https:// on both fields (website and folder).
– Removed the permanent redirect in web-config to redirect HTTP to HTTPS.

This is all. How could these two things affect the auto-update?

Update:

I removed SSL from another website and now it has updated automatically, so it IS the SSL configuration that prevented the update.

Does this provide more information? What does this point to please?

Thank you

Hi

I have attemtpted the following: added the lines in wp-config (DIR1 and DIR2 are placeholders for real directories)

define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘DIR1’);
define(‘FTP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘DIR2’);
define(‘FTP_SSL’, false);

Also, I have removed SSL on another site jsut to see if the automatic update will go through this time. Waiting to see.

Is there any easy way to trigger the automatic update?

Thank you

Yes true. But it could hep troubleshooting in cases where auto-update fail.

By the way…if there is a wordpress developper on here (:-)) it would be really good to have a “updagrde” button to upgrade to the next minor release. At the moment there is only one option and is quite limiting…

Hi George

I have not done so as updating to latest version 4.8.3 is a bigger upgrade step and I would need to plan ahead before running this.

Hi Matthew,

Yes thank you for the follow up. The answer was the feature was not supported.

Ok thanks. Sorry I did not realise this rule.

Ok thanks, I will try. Please do not close this ticket as I will need a bit of time as busy with something else just now.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have created a brand new News Ticker, typed the first Tick in Visual editor mode, then added another one and typed the content of this new one. I then saved. After saving, the second Tick did not show anything. When highlighting the text, it then shows (as if the text was written in white on white background) as HTML code (even if I am on the “Visual” tab.
I never in the process went back and forth to HTML editing. Just to clarify: I never clicked on the “Text” tab. Always stayed on “Visual” tab….

Could you reproduce this issue?

Thank you.

Hi

Thanks for looking into this. Saving the ticker does not solve the problem.
