A plugin has prevented updates by disabling wp_version_check().

Hi, I'm getting the above error in Health Check, with Generatepress
It disappears if I switch to the default 2020 wordpress theme.
The message remains if I disable "Elements" It also remains if I disable all plugins.
Any ideas or troubleshooting hints?
Thanks!
Terry
Hi there,
Not sure if I fully understand.
Where are you seeing that error?
What happens if you disable GP Premium?
It shows up here: https://www.terrys-service.com/wp-admin/site-health.php
Disabling GP Premium has no effect.
Switching from GeneratePress to the WordPress Twenty Twenty theme makes the message go away.
Hi there,
So it only happens with the "Elements" module activated?
If so, what if you temporarily Draft any published Elements?
> So it only happens with the “Elements” module activated?
* It does it if the Elements plugin is active and all the individual elements are active
* It does it if the Elements plugin is active and all the individual elements are set to "draft"
* It does it if the Elements plugin deactivated
* It does not do it if I switch to the WordPress TwentyTwenty theme.
I tried to get additional error logging by adding
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true);
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
to wp-config.php but it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm not getting any error.log file and no onscreen error messages.
I'm pretty good with PHP but not so good with Wordpress internals. If you have any idea where/what I can check, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Terry
It was a bogus error message. I had added some code to the end of functions.php, which had nothing to do with wp_version_check.
I removed the code and everything is happy again.
Glad you got it sorted! :)
