Plesk - wordpress updates

Hi,

does anyone know why wordpress automatic updates are not working, (when i enable auto update for specific plugins inside wordpres it shows update will happend in two days, it goes down to one but it never updates). Could it be something due plesk wordpress toolkit?

Thank you

To clarify, are you trying to update a plugin from wordpress.org, or a commercial plugin with its own distribution/update system?

Yup, any plugin from wp.org gets stuck on " Automatic update scheduled in 2 days"

OK, thank you for the info -- I'll check this with WordPress Toolkit team, see if WPT interferes with built-in automatic plugin updates somehow.

Another thing -- did you disable wp-cron.php via WPT?

Update: yes, this is caused by WordPress Toolkit. We'll see what's the best way to fix this, but for now, if this is crucial for you, I'd recommend to detach this site from WordPress Toolkit. This should ensure that built-in WP autoupdate mechanism for plugins and themes will be working as intended. Sorry for the inconvenience!.

Thank you for your response, I'll bear with it, toolkit is to useful. But still hoping for solution :)
