Title: Nuisance: Kills some automatic plugin updates Last modified: November 7, 2018 --- # Nuisance: Kills some automatic plugin updates * Resolved [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clg87/) * (@clg87) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nuisance-kills-some-automatic-plugin-updates/) * Before I get into it, I just want to state that the issues I describe below may be server side rather than with this plugin. I say this because I decided to switch from wpfastest cache to Litespeed cache, but *only* because my hosting provider migrated me from Apache to Litespeed. I figured I might get some extra bang by leveraging Litespeed cache premium features service available only to users on Litespeed servers. * Anyhow… my issue is with (some) automatic plugin updates being killed prematurely. I use Easy Updates Manager for this. This worked great, until the switch to Litespeed. Now, some of my plugins don’t update automatically, and so I need to hassle with updating them manually. The most common culprits seem to be Yoast and Wordfence. I have tried an .htaccess mod described in the link below. It seems to have reduced the number of failures, but it has not eliminated them. * If someone can provide an easy and relatively quick solution, I’m happy to write a glowing review. * .htaccess mod: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/system-requirements/litespeed/#if-litespeed-aborts-wordfence-scans-and-updates](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/system-requirements/litespeed/#if-litespeed-aborts-wordfence-scans-and-updates) th - This topic was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clg87/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnuisance-kills-some-automatic-plugin-updates%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [stanley@litespeed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stanleylitespeed/) * (@stanleylitespeed) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nuisance-kills-some-automatic-plugin-updates/#post-10855457) * Hi [@clg87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clg87/), we are trying to reproduce the issue, may I know which hosting panel and Litespeed server you are running on? * Thread Starter [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clg87/) * (@clg87) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nuisance-kills-some-automatic-plugin-updates/#post-10857373) * Hello, thanks for your reply. Hopefully the following is the info you’re looking for. Note, assuming you have a test machine to try to reproduce the problem, you may need to wait for a new version of Yoast or Wordfence. This has been my experience with auto update problems with my live site. My particulars: * Hosting Panel: cPanel Hosting v.3.0,(c) CPanel 2018 Host: WHC (Web hosting Canada) Type: Shared hosting, php 7.2 Legacy web server: Apache, php 7.x Current web server: Litespeed Upgrade date: Sept.25, 2018 Legacy caching plugin: wpfastestcache Current caching plugin: Litespeed cache Transition date: same day as server migration from Apache to Litespeed Attempted resolution: modification to .ht access, tried both methods outlined in [https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/system-requirements/litespeed/#if-litespeed-aborts-wordfence-scans-and-updates](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/system-requirements/litespeed/#if-litespeed-aborts-wordfence-scans-and-updates) * If you need more detailed or other info, please let me know particulars.
