 * Hello everybody,
    I can’t get my wordpress to update automatically (to version
   4.7.4 now). Since a hack because of outdated version I pay much attentions to
   updates, and was hoping that it would update automatically like it did on another
   site I had on a shared web hosting. this other site is now on a dedicated server
   and same issue…
 * Now on the first site I was talking about I tried to trigger manually with wp_maybe_auto_update()
   but no effect, I checked the log and I can see that the command is taken into
   account but there is no update… I installed plugin “update tester”, everything
   is green, I checked the config, it is set to minor though I know this is default.
   I tried also plugin “Easy Updates Manager” where everything looks fine…
 * So I need help with this please, how can I check update process when I trigger
   it manually ? What could be wrong with my configuration ?
 * Thanks !

 * Hello djiock, & welcome. The first place to look is in your server logs to see
   what, if any, errors the site is throwing. Given what you’re saying, I suspect
   there are plenty, &, if I were a betting lady, which I’m not, both because I 
   hate losing money & because I don’t have any to lose, I’d bet you have a permissions/
   ownership problem. Specifically, your WordPress files should be owned & writeable
   by the webserver user.
 * If you’re still having trouble, please paste error log entries in your next reply,&
   we can have a look.
