Wordpress not getting updated when app updated?

[Supaiku]

For some reason my wordpress version isn't getting updated when cloudron does the app update.

I'm not seeing stuff in the app logs about it - any ideas?
it is a multisite

Is the best option to SFTP replace the files?

@Supaiku Is it the Developer edition? That happens for me too but I believe that’s intentional as the developer edition is meant to provide more control to the admins. With that said, I also have all auto-updates (within WordPress including core) disabled, so that may be part of it too (especially if that’s how you’ve configured it as well).

@d19dotca yes, but there's an error when updating, which I assumed was because of Cloudron stuff, but perhaps updates are supposed to happen manually in wordpress and the "critical error" I get when updating is actually related to plugin conflicts and the like?

[Supaiku]

It was indeed a plugin conflict, which I was able to observe an error for in the wordpress debug logs. The manual wordpress update went smoothly after removing that plugin.

@Supaiku what was the guilty plugin?

just wanted to confirm this is indeed the case. when the WP developer package is updated, it only affects the version of new/fresh installations and does not affect the existing WP installation . I have put in a note to make future changelogs clearer about this.
