What’s wrong with my update.php?

  • Unknown's avatar

    For a while, I’ve had 404 errors whenever something needs to access update.php.

    I try to use the automated features to install plugins or the latest WP update; plugin updates install fine but since they can’t load update.php they don’t reactivate. Not much of a problem. This is, however, stopping me from doing WP updates completely!

    What happens is I go to the plugin page, click add, pick a zip file, upload it and it finishes that whole part, but once it is to finalize and reactivate, I get a 404. The exact same happens for the WP updates.

    I guess I can start doing them manually, but I’d prefer to fix my update.php (if that is even the issue)… Any ideas? It used to work fine and just suddenly stopped a few days ago. The odd thing is that certain plugins pull through and have no issues, but they’re pretty rare.
