 * I am still having THE SAME ISSUE about my site not being able to UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY.
   I even loaded a plugin to help with that and it did not work so I had to reinstall
   it. I don’t like having many plugins on my site to keep it healthy, as a matter
   of fact I only have ONE (1) plugin activated which is the WPBakery Visual Composer.
 * So I had to go through the trouble of making a MANUAL UPDATE via FTP and it did
   work (4.7.2). My site was updated to the latest version just until I found out
   in a week later a new version came out (4.7.3) so I find myself now with the 
   bad news I would have to do also, again, a manual update. I have also 12 more
   sites and they update wordpress automatically, with no help of no plugin, and
   I really want to get to the bottom of it: why my site can’t update wordpress 
   automatically???

 * Have you tried using [Background Update Tester](https://wordpress.org/plugins/background-update-tester/)
   to see what it reports? Sounds like your webserver isn’t able to communicate 
   with wordpress.org for some reason.

 * That is a server issue. Ask your hosting provider why your server does not like
   updating wordpress automatically.
