    Automatic download & update of Maxmind GeoIP Lite City is selected and the message at the top of the options page reads:

    Selected data source: GeoLite2 City database (updated monthly)

    Database file: wp-content/uploads/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
    Last updated: December 7, 2015 6:07 pm
    Database data from: December 1, 2015 11:28 pm
    Next update: Never

    We have confirmed the database file named GeoLite2-City.mmdb in the uploads folder hasn’t been updated since 12/7/2015. But there are these files (GeoIP.dat and GeoIPv6.dat) that seem to have been updated on 4/3/2016.

    What does this mean? Is the automatic update working and why does it say Next update: Never?

    The files GeoIP.dat/GeoIPv6.dat are files of the old Maxmind API, so probably from a different Plugin that uses Maxmind.

    The update schedules itself when the option “auto-update” is activated, and then re-schedules after each execution. So somehow it either dropped the schedule, or didn’t reschedule after the december update.

    I have modified the plugin so that it checks scheduling now each time. For now, just select a different data source & then the automatic datasource again, and the schedule should say begin of May. Then, click on “Update now” to ensure that it finishes Updating. (Because it could be possible that the server timed out during an update, so that the rescheduling didn’t take place.)
