It runs in wp-cron, so shouldn’t need any extra interaction to do the updates.
I don’t have a Windows server handy to investigate, I’ll see if I can set one up.
Where is the wp-cron file located?
In the main WordPress directory, wp-cron.php.
I can schedule windows to automatically execute that wp-cron.php file. Do you think that is all that is needed?
It’s worth a shot, though WordPress should automatically run it occasionally – let me know how it goes.
That idea didn’t work. I have one plugin update available and it did not updates it after running the wp-cron.php file.
Sorry, I haven’t managed to sort out some time to check this out – could you check the error logs to see if there’s anything relevant showing up?
Try: “http://example.com/wp_cron.php?doing_wp_cron”
The ‘?doing_wp_cron’ part is important.
Best wishes
Paul
Did you have any luck figuring out what was preventing the updates?
