 * Hi WP Team,
 * I am getting this error when I am trying to update my plugins:
 * {“success”:false,”data”:{“reason”:”not authorized request”}}
 * Could anyone offer some advice? Thanks

 * Two similar cases reported in this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failure-17/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failure-17/)
 * … and in both cases, the culprit was the **Backup Migration** plugin.
 * Do you have this plugin?

 * Thanks, that worked a treat! I was so frustrated, trying to figure it out for
   2 hours.
