We are currently experiencing issues with pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software
containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can
extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins
are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress.
These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. updates properly displaying on the
front end.

Systems is looking into this. We will have this resolved as soon as possible, however
we do not have an ETA at this time. We ask for your patience and understanding.

**12:31 ET** – The issue has been identified, and the people to address it are being
brought in. At this time, we ask you _NOT_ attempt to push your code again. It won’t
help.

**12:46 ET** – While we’re working on a permanent fix, we are attempting to manually
clear the backlog. You may see some plugins updating, but this does not mean the
issue is resolved.

**13:10 ET** – We’ve cleared out as much of the backlog as possible, however the
issue has not been resolved. No new commits will go through. Again, please don’t
try to push code. It’s still down.

**15:15 ET** – Some preemptive patches have been applied for when the fix is finalized,
however updates are still not functioning properly.

**17:10 ET** – The situation is still ongoing. Our attempted fixes did not correct
the issue.

**19:20 ET** – No ETA, fix is still being worked on. In the meantime, we’re devising
a way to let us manually run the jobs without the need for system intervention, 
in order to ensure security fixes are pushed in a timely fashion.

**21:45 ET** – A commit has been made to properly trigger the cron job that does
the magic. We believe the situation to be resolved.
