@giorgio25b Nope… that worked only for ONE of the SEVEN sites suffering this issue but NONE other.

Web server Support staff stated the following:

Okay, now I am positive it’s a problem with the WordPress repository.

When I click the Update button I look at your actual PHP processes and the one connecting to WordPress closes instantly! The 5.3 release came out today so I can only assume their repository servers are overloaded. I even increased our execution times to 3 times the recommended values.

I then tested it on a test account and it updates to 5.2.4 fine so it’s their repository for 5.3 that is either overloaded or having issues. The only thing I can recommend is waiting until tomorrow and trying again.

So, this DOES appear to be the fault of the WordPress repository. ??

Thanks for trying.

Will try again tomorrow. In the meantime… if ANYONE else has any suggestion, please feel free to H-E-E-E-E-L-P?

@tellyworth my web hosting tech support increased the memory_limit but I still cannot update to v5.3 as the same issue is STILL there.

Larger sites with far more plugins have been successfully updated but not smaller sites with fewer plugins, so a lack of memory does NOT appear to be the issue.

Have deactivate all but security and Classic Editor and tried again… same prompt!

Please heeeeeelp? ??

I’ve had to ADD another plugin Fix Another Update due to WordPress issuing the prompt “Another update is currently in progress.”… so, no… did not try disabling plugins.

Have also let the web host support staff know of this as I have LARGE sites with no issues while tiny sites are experiencing this issue. Go figure, right?

Twiogle Twitter Commenter was recommended to me, yet since installing it a few days ago, it has NEVER worked.

When I tried contacting the author, the Twiogle link in the Settings was linked to another author. Once THAT author let me know that I had contacted the wrong author, I immediately returned to my Twiogle Settings link and, don’t cha’ know… the Twiogle link was changed to twiogle.com which offers a blank web page.

Needless to say, I will be contacting Scot Standke about this as he gave this plugin a rave review to far too many of us. Dang… this reminds me that “when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”

If allowed, I’d rate this plugin as -1!
