 Hello, for some reason automatic theme and plugin updates don't appear to
 be working using the instructions from the Codex:

 https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

 I created a must use plugin per the Codex instructions and verified the
 plugin is present and activated:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );
 add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );
 }}}

 I ensured that automatic updates are *not* disabled in wp-config.php

 I also tried adding the filters directly to the theme's functions.php with
 no luck.

 I have tried manually kicking off the update checker and waiting over
 night, but still no plugins or themes are updated.

 I enabled debug + logging in wp-config to try and see what was happening,
 but I'm not getting any output

 If this is not a bug, but a problem on my end, I would appreciate any help
 on how to further troubleshoot the issue.

 Thank you,
