SOLVED cPanel WordPress Manager Error - "/usr/local/bin/php"

[CDT]

Greeting everyone...
/etc/redhat-release:CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
/usr/local/cpanel/version:11.80.0.11
/var/cpanel/envtype:virtuozzo
CPANEL=release

I have a couple of Wordpress sites I installed "manually" (i.e. server side). I am wanting Wordpress Manager to recognize these sites... after running the "Discover Sites" I get the following error. Screenshot attached.

"The system found a new WordPress site, “/home/alamojo/public_html/wp-config.php”, but could not make it manageable because of the following error: (XID csn2k9) “/usr/local/bin/php” reported error code “255” when it ended: "

Wordpress also returns this error in error_log:

Hello @CDT,

Can you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look at your system to see why the Discover Sites feature in WordPress Manager isn't working as intended?

You can post the ticket number here once it's opened and I'll link this forums thread to it.

Thank you.

This was resolved Very simple fix

This was occurring due to having 'add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_false' );' set within the wp-config.php file.

I've commented the variable.

[ [email protected] /home/axxxxo/public_html]# grep auto_update_plugin wp-config.php
#add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_false' );

Afterward, I was able to get the WordPress Manager to work successfully.

Thanks to

Also found the following in wp-config.php is a problem too and needs commenting out

add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_false' );
