Hi there,
Could you please explain us in detail, would you like to “Ask WordPress to automatically update UpdraftPlus when it finds an available update.” or are you looking for Automatic updates for All plugins/themes/WP Core?
With UPdraftPlus Premium you have option to Automatically update UpdraftPlus plugin, but if you are looking for automatic updates for each plugin/theme you have installed, it can be done via Easy Updates Manager Plugin.
With that being said, could you also let us know what issues you are facing during Automatic updated in Easy Updates Manager?
Thanks,
Harshad

Hello,
i Ask WordPress to automatically update UpdraftPlus when it finds an available update.
The problem it doesn’t work
I already use Easy Updates Manage and and Automatic Plugin Updates
I am obliged to update manually on all my sites
Hi,
Can you please ensure Automatic Updates are enabled in EUM settings, Also can you please enable WordPress debug mode and check what’s there?
Edit your wp-config.php file and add these lines, just before it says ‘stop editing here’:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
Then re-run the Force updates from EUM Settings > Advanced > Force Updates
This will create an debug.log file inside wp-content folder. Let’s see what it includes.

I followed your advice
I Forced automatic updates just updraft plus
I don’t see debug.log file inside wp-content folder
Do we have to wait 12 hours?
Hi,
Do you see any JS errors in browser developer console, when you force automatic updates?

i tried with firefox developper edition
On the console web, i have juste this message :
This site seems to use a positioning effect related to scrolling. This effect may not work properly with asynchronous scrolling. See https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for more details or to discuss.
I tried several times forced updates.
Nothing happens.

If those don’t work, then the setting inside UD won’t, as they’re doing the same thing.
How ‘automatic updates’ in WP work (or should work!) is that WP does a daily updates check, and then asks all the installed plugins “Hey, these updates are available, shall I install any of them?” Plugins can just say “yes” or “no”. WP then does the updating. So, presumably, the answer ‘yes’ is coming back, but WP fails to do the update. That being so, there isn’t anything in the plugin itself you can tweak to get a different result. You could ask your web hosting company; perhaps they’ve done something to disable them; or perhaps you don’t have enough disk space available in your account to process the update; or perhaps the updates checks aren’t running at all.
