Plugins Auto Update issue

  • Since the release of WordPress 4.6 whenever I add a new website to my JetPack account, I receive the message “Autoupdates are not available for …. The file permissions on this host prevent editing files.” on the plugins page.

    I have about 300 sites in my Jetpack account already all working fine. I normally add about 2 new sites each week.

    Everything was going smooth until 8/16 when 4.6 was released. Now any new site I add is unable to take advantage of auto updates.

    I am able to install and update plugins from the WordPress control panel, and I checked to make sure AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED was set to false.

    Thank you

    Could you contact your hosting provider and ask them if they use a plugin or mu-plugin to control the way automatic updates are handled on your sites?

    If they don’t change the way WordPress updates work, could you contact us via this form so we can run some tests with you on your site?

    Thanks!

    Hello, I had a similar issue and managed to solve it by adding define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true ); into my wp-config.php. Basically, without it, the settings from Jetpack (https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/site-name-or-id) contained:
    “file_mod_disabled”: [
    “wp_auto_update_core_disabled”
    ]
    which probably makes WordPress.com/Calypso think that it doesn’t have filesystem permissions.
