 * Good morning everyone, I have a problem that I’ve been struggling with for days
   but you can’t solve it.
   in my WordPress installation it doesn’t detect some plugin
   updates while others do.I did it in debug to check if there are updates and manually
   the system finds them. Using this function
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function clear_update_transients() {delete_site_transient('update_plugins');delete_transient('update_plugins');wp_cache_flush();}add_action('admin_init', 'clear_update_transients');function check_plugin_updates_manually() {// Include the $wp_versionrequire ABSPATH . WPINC . '/version.php';// Ensure we have the Plugin_Upgrader classif ( ! class_exists( 'Plugin_Upgrader' ) ) {require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php';}// Get all installed plugins$plugins = get_plugins();$to_send = array('plugins' => array(),'active' => array(),);foreach ($plugins as $plugin_file => $plugin_data) {$to_send['plugins'][$plugin_file] = array('slug' => dirname($plugin_file),'version' => $plugin_data['Version']);}$options = array('body' => array('plugins' => wp_json_encode($to_send),'locale' => wp_json_encode(get_locale()),),'user-agent' => 'WordPress/' . $wp_version . '; ' . home_url('/'),);$url = 'https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/1.1/';$response = wp_remote_post($url, $options);if (is_wp_error($response)) {var_dump("Error in update request: ", $response->get_error_message());return;}$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);$data = json_decode($body, true);if (isset($data['plugins'])) {foreach ($data['plugins'] as $plugin_slug => $plugin_update) {var_dump("Manual update available for $plugin_slug: ", $plugin_update);$upgrader = new Plugin_Upgrader();$result = $upgrader->upgrade($plugin_update['plugin']);if (is_wp_error($result)) {error_log("Error updating plugin $plugin_slug: " . $result->get_error_message());} else {error_log("Plugin updated successfully: $plugin_slug");}}} else {var_dump("No manual updates available for plugins");}}add_action('admin_init', 'check_plugin_updates_manually');
       ```
   
 * in my manual function it detects updates
   But there is no way to make it work 
   automatically, it’s the first time this has happened to me, do any of you have
   any advice to give me? (edited)

 * Do you have any plugins in use (and active) that take care of the update distribution?
   I would recommend deactivating your add-on and all plugins and checking this.
