WordPress – Automatic Updates Fix

Sumanth — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:29:55 +0000

WordPress seems to have problems sometimes with auto updating the plugins or for upgrades. Create a file “.htaccess” in your main source directory — where the directories wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes reside with this as content.

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddType text/html .shtml .html
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

# END WordPress

It had been bothering me for a while and thanks to WordPress Support I’ve been able to figure out the solution. Let me know if it helps you.
