That’s odd. Which link exactly are you clicking? What is the text of that link (so I know which one exactly)? Is the link https://domain.com/wp-admin/https%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fplugins.php, or is the link different and you’re being re-directed to https://domain.com/wp-admin/https%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fplugins.php?
Obviously that link is incorrect, so I wonder if there’s something interfering with the standard WordPress filter values. Are you using somekind of caching plugin / optimizing service that modifies back-end HTML pages? Have you tried turning off that plugin / service?

Hello and thank you for the quick reply. My apologies for my tardiness. I was waiting until the latest weekly update.
We’ve been doing some work on the site and it looks like it might be related to cdn use. I’ll see what happens next week. Thank you so much.
Hello JS,
After several weeks of testing the problem still exists. It only occurs when updating WPSSO plugin. On the latest update it didn’t clear properly and left a maintenance file behind for manual removal and did not reactivate.
I don’t know why, but its only with WPSSO.
Thanks,
John
Please note that WordPress does plugin updates – not the plugins – WordPress removes the plugin folder and unzips the plugin archive.
If you get an error from WordPress during an update, I would suggest you use the standard tools to find out more about the error – this includes the Query Monitor plugin, defining the WP_DEBUG constant to get PHP errors in the debug.log, checking web server error logs, and enabling the javascript console in your web browser to check for jQuery type errors. If you haven’t contacted your hosting provider, I would certainly do that too. 😉

Thank you,
I’ll work through all of those. The web server error log last had an entry on Oct 1 and there are no jQuery errors. I’ll keep working on it. Thank you JS!!
