That work previously( in version 2.3.8) but changed since the theme was updated to 2.3.10. * Please check the other sections (in my case the about section), why contact 7 forms do not work (you see label captions and all other text, but the HTML form elements are missing). * Thank you & best regards * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy Updates Manager] Automatic Updates not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/) * Thread Starter [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/) * (@ajanus) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/page/2/#post-8573533) * Maybe helpful for others facing the same problem: * I am using [WP Updates Notifier](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-updates-notifier/) to get at least informed, if there are updates available. * It is working for Plugin, Theme and major updates (but not for translations). Since a minor updates (which may contain urgend security fixes) are installed automatically, this is OK for me. I install the other updates manually after I got notified and update translations by the way. * As WP Updates Notifier is working, this shows that there is no problem with WordPress’ Cron mechanisms. The problem must reside somewhere else. - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/).

But I don’t think I need what’s described in the article. Because minor updates were performed (at least one time). So file access is basically working. It’s (only) plugin, theme and translations updates, which do not work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy Updates Manager] Automatic Updates not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/) * Thread Starter [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/) * (@ajanus) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/page/2/#post-8423793) * I also think everthing is normal configured… and I am also confused! 🙁 * The website runs on a new installed Debian Linux (VM). It is the only website and the only thing at all running on that server (besides stuff normally running on a Debian system). And I did not find anything about special settings for PHP etc. installed on an Debian system, that may cause WordPress not to update (only themes, plugins and translations). * So, I am giving up now… 🙁 But thank you for your extensive help and feedback anyway! - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy Updates Manager] Automatic Updates not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/) * Thread Starter [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/) * (@ajanus) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/page/2/#post-8405583) * I used the Plugin Background Update Tester as described in [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/236282/automatic-updates-are-not-working](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/236282/automatic-updates-are-not-working): * ``` PASS: Your WordPress install can communicate with WordPress.org securely.

In which file should I add the two lines of code? * I tried another automatic update plugin (called Update Control), but it did not work, too. I will try Advanced Automatic Updates next. If it does not work there either, it looks like it is has nothing to do with Easy Updates Manager. - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/).

So I guess there is no conflict with a Plugin or the (Catch Base) Theme. * But I have to correct myself: There were updates performed in the past weeks: from 4.5.2 to 4.5.3 in June and from 4.5.3 to 4.5.4 in September. So at least the minor updates seem to work. * The update to 4.6.1 was started manually in October. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy Updates Manager] Automatic Updates not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/) * Thread Starter [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/) * (@ajanus) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/#post-8347649) * > I mean who hosts your website.

There are only a few – very common – Plugins installed: Akismet (deactivated), Background Update Tester, Contact Form 7, Easy Updates Manager, Hello Dolly (deaktivated), UpdraftPlus, WP-Mail-SMTP. The Theme (Catch Base) may be a candidate for making trouble… I will deactivate them (one by one) and see if this wil help… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy Updates Manager] Automatic Updates not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/) * Thread Starter [ajanus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajanus/) * (@ajanus) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-updates-not-working-6/#post-8338237) * Thank you for your reply! * I searched all *.php – and especially wp-config.php – files under my WordPress directory for AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED, WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE and DISABLE_WP_CRON, but found nothing wrong. * What do you mean with “host”?
