“All plugins are updated” but they aren’t

    i’m using WordPress since like….2013 or before, can’t really remember.

    So, basically, my problem is that there is NO WAY (a part uploading those manually via FTP or via “Upload a new plugin”) to let WordPress Check if my plugins are updated or not.

    In my experience, it’s a pretty common problem across the wordpress community. Soon or later, WordPress totally stops to notify you about plugin available updates, until i ran into infinite random problem that i later notice it’s caused by a non-updated plugin.

    There is a way to know why this happens and how solve it? (how does wordpress check for available plugin updates?) I tried disabling pretty much all plugins and nothing changed.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If anyone finds this helpful, we found a solution. For us it turned out to be a collation issue with the options table. An plugin of ours had non standard characters in it’s update text and our DB couldn’t handle them.

    Disabling the plugins is not enough of a test in this scenario as even disabled plugins try to get updates. Deleting them and adding them back one by one is a better test.

    @flagship890 I was having the exact same problem. I tested your solution and indeed, the problem was fixed! Thanks so much for sharing it.

    @flagship890 So you solved deleting every single plugin and reinstalling them?

    The error was happening when checking for plugin updates.

    All installed plugins (active or not) are checked for updates when this page is called: /wp-admin/update-core.php.

    So once our “problem” plugin was deleted and it wasn’t being checked for an update, the rest of the updates showed fine.

    So deleting plugins and installing them again one by one should help you workout which plugin was the issue.

    The error seems to be hidden by wordpress unfortunately so it’s hard to track down, that’s why I started the new thread.
