Not sure why that is. The update process is done by WordPress core
I just reinstalled the 3.7.2 version and it updated through the normal process.
I’m also unable to update to the latest
The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so please be patient.
Enabling Maintenance mode…
Updating Plugin AVH First Defense Against Spam Plugin (1/1)
An error occurred while updating AVH First Defense Against Spam Plugin: Update package not available.
Disabling Maintenance mode…
All updates have been completed.
My revolution was to delete the files and copied over newer ones via FTP
I also get “An error occurred while updating AVH First Defense Against Spam Plugin: Update package not available.”
Deactivated, uninstalled 3.7.2 and installed 3.7.3
I have this installed three other websites and it failed on them also. “Update package not available.” I tried your suggested cleaning up of the database options but that didn’t help me. Only way to get it to work is manually install version 3.7.3
Same Update package not available error…
I was running 3.7.2 on a number of sites and experienced the same Update Failed issue. However, I was able to simply deactivate, update and reactivate successfully, without having to delete and reinstall.
+1 also have had this issue over the last month or so.
The deactivate, update and reactivate worked for me too after the update had failed. Thanks.
