 * Hi, first, my pleasure, its a fantastic plug and work.
    My problem: If I use 
   a real cron by dissabling wp cron in wp-config and call a linux cron, and the
   con realy works, but auto updates didn’t if easy updates manager is active. Can
   this be? When I use real crons, than comes no any plugin or theme updates again,
   but new in the cue. Thank for suggestions Tom

 * I solved the problem by my self. I using iThemeSecurity to protect WordPress 
   and it is active the black list from HackRepair, so inside is block wget from
   client header. After white listing my own server, now external crons are running
   fine and Easy Updates too. 🙂
 * Remember: the disorder of paranoid admins 😉

 * Glad you were able to resolve it. Sorry I didn’t notice sooner. Next time if 
   you could kindly post a new support thread instead of tagging it onto a existing
   thread that would be awesome. [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates#postform)
