WP-Admin shows update process "forever"

    Using the WP-Admin->Dashboard->Updates (or any other way) for updating plugins (or Themes, or WP itself) the “Updating” page always shows “Updating…..” with the turning progress circle. But this never dissapears. The next plugin or whatever will never show up on this page.

    So I have to check using the LIVE website if this is still in maintenance mode or if everything is done. After website showing ok and refreshing the WP-Admin->Update page it says “nothing to update”.

    This “feature” is there quite a while now and I have no idea where this came from. Did the update to WP4.1 yesterday and hoped everything is fine again – but no it is not. Problem still exists.

    Why is the first update showing forever? Is there anything I can check?

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards
    Peter

    Hi,

    Would you mind trying the following when you have an update waiting next time: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors

    It sounds like a JavaScript error, most likely caused by a plugin of some kind and that process will in identifying which one.

    Hi,

    thank you for the answer. There was a new update today. I’m using Safari and opened the error console. Already before starting the plugin update the following error was shown. Nothing new added during update. There was no end in showing “update in process”.

    The error:

    [Error] SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier "object"
	parse (load-scripts.php, line 4)
	parseJSON (load-scripts.php, line 4)
	parseJSON (load-scripts.php, line 8)
	(anonyme Funktion) (load-scripts.php, line 10)
	dispatch (load-scripts.php, line 3)
	handle (load-scripts.php, line 3)

    I do not see which plugin might cause this.

    Any more tipps? Will try Firefox next time. As far as I remember I did this already once. But same problem.

    It is most likely a plugin trying to interact with the update features to add their own update checker, do you have any premium plugins installed, if so I’d start by disabling those and seeing if the same error appears in the console.

    I activated the debug. This might fit to your tip – I’ll disable this plugin the next time and see if it helps:

    Yeah, I’d try disabling the updraft plugin and see if that solves it.
