Thank you, @threadi – This is pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you, @weboccults. When I do the manual option from the Dashboard (e.g. “Updates” -> “Update to 6.0” as a blue button), it asks for Connection Information in the form of FTP or FTPS. I have not setup FTP or FTPS.

Does this indicate some sort of permissions issue? I ask because Plugins are frequently auto-updating without any intervention from myself. Does the WordPress Version update use a different method of automatic updating than Plugins?

Thanks for your help.

I upgraded SimplyStatic to version 2.1.5.7 and am still having the same issue.

Thanks!

I will third this as I’m getting the exact same error but with a slightly different configuration:

~~ Simply Static Plugin Version 2.1.5.6
~~ WordPress 5.9.2
~~ LAMP stack with Amazon Linux 2, Apache and MySQL
~~~~~ PHP 7.4.28

Thanks!

Hi @tomhung – When you mentioned your turned off “Basic Auth”, was that in the Simply Static plugin? Or a setting in WordPress? I’m currently running WordPress 5.9.2.
EDIT: I didn’t see the top headers. “Basic Auth” wasn’t enabled for me so please disregard this question.

It turns out this was related to permissions. I used the following method to reset all the Permission this instance:

from /wordpress directory you need to be Root:

find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644

chown -R apache:apache .

This, of course, assumes that you are running apache and the ownership is for the web server. Thanks!

I am having the same issue too, in that it appears nothing is happening with the plugin installed. I carefully followed directions and after setting up the initial plugin settings I go to “HTTPS” – “Network Settings” as a Super Admin, find the site I want to secure the Admin panel for, select “Force SSL Admin” and hit “Save Changes”.

Are there any other steps necessary to get this to work proper?

Thanks in advance!

I got the SSL installed. This is resolved. Thanks!
