Thanks Bogdan - do we need to install both the Dashboard and Child plugins? Or just the Child?
The child should be enough for this specific problem.
OK - the beta Child plugin was uploaded, but the problem still exists.
Looking at the function “upgrade_plugin_theme” in “class-mainwp-child-updates.php” file, it seems to be doing the same thing as before.
Perhaps there’s another change that we need to be aware of?
Hi Ricky,
thanks for verifying that.
I will notify our dev team and they will check this again.
Hi Bogdan,
Has there been any progress on this?
Thanks
Hi Ricky,
can you please test the MainWP Child 4.2 that we just released and see if works better?
Hi Bogdan,
We just tried MainWP Child 4.2, but that didn’t solve the issue unfortunately.
Hi Ricky,
Thanks for verifying that.
At this point, I would like you to open a helpdesk ticket so I can get more info from you and check what is going on.
Can you please open the ticket and reference this thread so we can take a look?
Hi Bogdan,
The analysis is already mentioned above.
Today we ran an experiment by altering MainWP Child v4.2.
We changed the function “upgrade_plugin_theme()” so that it does not set “define( ‘DOING_CRON’, true )”
It worked. The plugin update issue was fixed.

Hi Ricky,
Thanks for the update.
It would be awesome if you could make Pull Request on Github so our dev team can review the change and potentially include it in the official repo.

Hi Bogdan,
Thanks - this version works. Plugins are now able to be updated.
There’s one remaining issue where plugins cannot be deleted from the Dashboard, but at least the update process works.
I haven’t tested updating themes, but will try.

Hi Ricky,
thanks for letting me know.
However, I believe that deleting plugins/thems is more permissions problem caused by specific WP Engine setup.
