Bug Report: Plugins don’t show/allow updates

Hello!

First, please know I left a positive review some time ago. I know this plugin is great!

But, I noticed a bug and it took me quite a while to diagnose, so I thought I’d better report it. It could definitely be down to conflicts with other plugins/themes or who knows.

Earlier this week I noticed that all of the plugins on one of my sites showed as updated, with no updates available. But, I noticed that the version numbers of some plugins were definitely out of date. I compared version numbers with other sites and indeed, many plugins were out-of-date.

After re-installing WP core manually and manually deactivating, deleting, adding and activating a number of plugins and themes, I found that the issue came down to WP Custom Admin Interface. When I disabled this plugin, I was only then able to see that many plugins required updating, and I was then able to update them. When I re-enabled this plugin, I was again not able to see available updates for plugins, nor was I able to update those out-of-date plugins.

I have not yet had any more time to dig through to figure out other conflicts. I spent a few days trying to figure this one out, so I’m just relieved to have found the problem. When I have time to do more digging, if I find anything I’ll definitely report back!

Updating WP Custom Admin Interface to the latest version (7.26 / August 2021) did not rectify the issue.

And at least now you know there may be a problem.

Thanks for the hard work – great plugin!
