WordPress updates progress

  • Something strange is happening to me. For example, when I select plugins to update, the update starts but I don’t see any progress. Instead of informing me about progress, everything is empty. I don’t have a message at the end that everything has been successfully updated and so on.

    Since I know what’s going on, I run the update and wait a minute or two. Then I click on “Dashboard” > “Updates” again. When I don’t have notifications about new updates, I know that previous updates are complete.

    It’s a bit frustrating. And this raises a new question for me: Does such behavior have any impact on the rest of my website, more precisely, on normal functioning?

    This happens on two different websites on the same server.

    I’m using PHP 8.2. Do you have anything to do with (server) PHP extensions? What is mandatory for WordPress? Do I need to increase anything in PHP values? If everything is fine here, do you have any idea what else should be checked?

    Thanks in advance. Regards,

  • Take a look under Tools > Site Health to see if any anomalies are mentioned there.

    Also take a look at the error log in the hosting to see if anything is logged there at the moments when you have the problem. Your hoster’s support can help you find it.

    Hi @threadi

    Thanks. I tried both. To no avail. Site Health does not show anything. On the server, the log files are scanned, they show nothing.

    Yesterday I made a complete backup of both websites. I did a website installation on localhost (XAMPP, PHP 8.2). I ran the plugin update, the progress was shown and everything works without error.

    This tells me that it has nothing to do with a conflict or something on my website. Everything points to the server.

    I don’t know what to do?

    Do you have a server-side cache active? Something like Litespeed or APCu? The latter in particular can also cause such strange effects.

    I’m on the Litespeed server. No, the cache is not active.
