edit file simple-press/sp-startup/admin/spa-admin-updater.php...  around line 19 after

    $body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);

lets add

ashow($body);
die();

load up an admin page and see if we get a good response on the server... if so, can remove again...

 So I tried this, and then the "available plugins" admin page gives me a long text block, like this:

The other admin pages all look the same as normal, no changes.

Then trying this:

now to go further you need to have a plugin that needs updating...  you can just edit one of them and drop the version by a .1...  verify that you see update needed on the sp plugins page...

then edit same file, routine sp_update_check_sp_plugins(), around line 105... after

        $plugins = sp_get_plugins();

add in

ashow($plugins);
die();

and go to the wp udpates page...  does it show some plugins?

The wp updates page does not show any plugins in need of update (although three of them are old versions, in fact).

So I guess the problem is occurring early in the process?

Sorry about the gigantic paste! Wasn't really sure how to do that. 

I did add the ashow() for the second part, and when I went to the wp updates page, there was just the wp stuff.  No empty blue box, nothing at all about SP.

Hmm, let me try again.  

in spa-admin-updater.php

I have

$plugins = sp_get_plugins();
 ashow($plugins);
die();
 if (empty($plugins)) return;

(I also tried it without the die();)

Even with that ashow($plugins), when I go to the wp updates page (/wp-admin/network/update-core.php), there are no SP plugins listed (nothing related to SP) just the regular WordPress stuff.  (see the screenshot).

On the SP plugins page, the plugins are listed and it says there are updates available. (screenshot of that, too).

SP plugins directory is readable and writeable, according to forum-integration-storage locations.

I wish I had an explanation!

Nothing at all from the ashow(), as you see.

I moved those two lines up to right underneath function sp_update_check_sp_plugins() {

and still the same.  nothing on the wordpress updates page

I activated file uploader, and in the SP plugins page it shows as activated (and in need of an update), but still nothing on the WP update page.

One thought--this is multisite with subdirectories, not subdomains, if that matters?

Sorry, this seems to keep getting more confusing! It is multisite, I am the super admin, and I am looking at the place (the only place in multisite) where wordpress updates appear. (That is, /wp-admin/network/update-core.php ).

There is no more "main site" with updates page in multisite.  There is now the network admin (maybe that's what you mean?).  

So...it's sounding like this is something that is changed when MU went to multi-site.  There isn't any way to do the network-wide SP plugin updates? (other than FTP, I mean).

Back in post 12 in this thread you said "This has been working. We have multiple folks doing admin upgrades in multisite."  But how? Individual sites can't do WordPress updates in multi-site.  Only super admins, and only on the network update page (in /wp-admin/network/update-core.php ).

It's OK if it's just not possible, but if others are doing it, and I can't, it would be good to figure out why!
