Make sure auto updating of WP is not disabled by a snippet or a plugin.
Also review this guide https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/configuring-automatic-background-updates/
Hi there,
The local host site did want me to update 5 plugins, but before I did update them I altered the wp-config.php slightly:
I removed this line:
define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );
and replaced it with this:
define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true );
After I did that the flags to update the 5 plugins disappeared, not entirely sure if they updated or not as I didn’t see any update progress that had taken place and still unable to see the next edition of wordpress 5.7.2.
I spotted a plugin that was activated that didn’t appear to be doing anything, Advanced Automatic Updates, I unticked the settings within it and deactivated it.
Now the entries at the bottom of that file look like this:
require_once ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’;
//**The next line allows direct downloads*/
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);
require_once ABSPATH . ‘syno-misc.php’;
define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true );
add_filter(‘pre_site_transient_update_core’,’__return_null’);
KR,

Make all code below require_once ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’; into comments (start each line with //), except for the syno-misc.php line. We typically don’t need any of those. If doing so causes other problems, you can always uncomment the necessary line again.
If you still have updating issues, there may still be code elsewhere responsible for the trouble. Try selectively deactivating plugins and swapping themes to narrow down the source.
Hi bcworkz (@bcworkz)
Thank you for your reply which I followed and hey presto the offline site could see the wordpress upgrade.
require_once ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’;
//**The next line allows direct downloads*/
//define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
//define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);
require_once ABSPATH . ‘syno-misc.php’;
//define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true );
//add_filter(‘pre_site_transient_update_core’,’__return_null’);
Thank you very much and t-p (@t-p). All done.
