Hi Drumology2001, there is no option in this plugin to block WordPress from notifying you of any new WordPress version being released. I use this plugin on 8 different websites and I received all notices starting from WordPress version 3.9.3, 4.0.1, 4.1, 4.1.1.
There must be something in your current setup that is blocking or perhaps you switched off the upgrade or update notices in WordPress.
Thanks for the feedback, MBR — glad to know it’s not necessarily the plugin blocking it.
Where would I have gone to switch on or off the upgrade notices?
@drumology2001 can you check the following URL.
I have already tried that, adding the following code to the wp-config.php file to see if it would force an upgrade:
# ENABLE WORDPRESS UPDATES
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );
This did nothing at all, unfortunately. Any other suggestions?
You might have some other setting that is blocking this. Did you ask your Host about this issue? I suspect this has more to do with your server than this plugin. Unless you have a pluign that is blocking the updates.
I have disabled all plugins and reset to the default theme in order to check that it’s not a plugin or theme issue, so I know it’s not that. My next step would normally be to check with Bluehost (who runs our server) as you suggest, but we have around 30 websites on this server that run on WP, and most of them have had no problem updating…but there are just a few that can’t seem to see that there is a newer version of WP available, which makes me think it’s not necessarily a server issue, either. I’m baffled. :\
So you are saying that you have 30 websites in this server. Is this a dedicated or VPS?
Do all your 30 websites run this security plugin? If they do and only a few don’t update automatically then you know that the plugin works. There must be some other issue in the websites that don’t allow for the automatic updates. Did you install WordPress through cPanel? I believe there is a check box during the installation that allows you to automatically update WordPress core files?
To answer your first question, this is a VPS server run by Bluehost.
The overwhelming majority of the websites use the AIOWPS plugin, and the plugin is present on both sites that have updated to the latest version and ones that have not. That certainly rules out that it’s a AIOWPS plugin issue, I’d guess, as I cross-referenced the plugin settings from both an older install and an updated one, and they appear to be the same.
I installed most of these websites using WHM on the VPS server, creating an account in WHM for the client, and then logging into that client’s newly-created cPanel to install WordPress (using cPanel’s ‘Site Software’ process). There is no checkbox anywhere during install or configuration that says anything about automatically updating WordPress (or anything similar), so I don’t think I missed anything there.
Then we can safely rule out that it is not a plugin problem.
You will have to get in contact with Bluehost in regards to this issue or do some more investigation to try an isolate the problem with these websites. Maybe check your server logs.
I have 6 websites in a VPS server with Justhost which is a sister company of Bluehost. They both share the same data center. All my websites running this plugin all update automatically for me to the latest WordPress security versions.
Can you mark this support thread as resolved since it’s not a plugin issue.
Thank you
