 * We have 18 plugins that need to update. But it only shows on the update-core 
   page and not on the plugins page. Also, it shows different numbers at different
   times.
 * Also when I update some plugins through the update core page, it doesn’t reflect
   any change on the count. it still shows the plugins need to be updated which 
   I have already updated.
 * What kind of issue is this? Any cache issues? How to fix this issue? Any solutions?.

 * Dear vimalsweans
 * Hope you have a great day!
 * There is one possible solution to get this resolved in a systematic manner. Sometimes
   the cache plays an important role. The plugins do get updated, however, there
   may be a conflict with other plugins. Hence you are unable to see the desired
   results.
    Below you may follow the process to get your solution
 * • Clear your browser cache and the DNS cache
    • Disable all the plugins ONE-BY-
   ONE • Clear server cache • Then try updating
 * I see that you are using a lightspeed server. You may request your host to clear
   the object or static cache from their end.
 * Do share if the same has worked for you.
 * Thank you,
    Have a great day!

 * Are you using any object cache from the server?
    Also, check your `wp-config.
   php` if `WP_CACHE` is set as true, then remove that or set it as false, then 
   check the update-core page.

 * We use the nitro pack plugin for the caching and optimization and WP_CACHE is
   set to true from the nitro pack side In the wp-config.php file.

 * OK, then try to clear the object cache or disable `WP_CACHE` for testing and 
   then check if you can reproduce the issue with this change or not.
 * `site_transient_update_plugins` get cached when the object cache with `WP_CACHE`
   is ON so it could be a problem that you’re not getting updated data.
