This is the only plugin that doesn’t automatically update through WP

Hey @cpkid1,

There’s nothing set in WooCommerce Shipping & Tax to disable this feature. It’s working on my personal sites.

You might consider adding this to your wp-config.php file just above the

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );

This would enable automatic plugin updates for all plugins. See if that gets this working for you. Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers

I added in that line but I’m still unable to autoupdate just this one plugin. I get the error: Update failed: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.

If the file permissions were inconsistent, wouldn’t all the other plugins also fail to autoupdate?

Thanks for sending over that error message. It’s entirely possible that some of the sub-folders and/or files in the plugin have different file permissions than the rest of the site. It would be a bit unusual but I’ve seen that happen before.

You might try removing the plugin folder completely using FTP or a file browser in your web host’s control panel. You’d want to remove it from /wp-content/plugins on your server.

Then once that’s gone you can install a new copy of WooCommerce Shipping & Tax and that should have the correct file permissions.

Let us know how that goes.
