Can you describe what you mean here. Exactly what do you do and what happens?

And - did you update the main, core Simple:Press plugin to the latest version first?

After updating Simple Press core plugin did you perform the database update when visiting the 'Forum' admin section?

As Andy asked 'Exactly what do you do and what happens?' - What exactly is the process you are going through to update these plugins?

Also word for word, what does the message say regarding visiting the Simple Press website?

You should just be able to update them via the WP update page but would need more info on the steps you are taking and the results.

here the message i get from my dashboard, i have contacted my hosting company they check and did not find anything wrong, they said it is not their side.

 

Your server has returned a status code of while attempting to communicate with the Simple:Press server to establish up to date version information.
Additionally, WordPress reported the following: name lookup timed out
Please try again in a few minutes but if the condition persists we firstly recommend seeking assistance from your hosting support team and then contacting Simple:Press support if they are unable to help.

 

thanks

Have you had any trouble updating anything else?

I think the first thing to try is disabling all plugins and trying again.. It's possible something you have running is interfering with the upgrade.

Certainly being able to update the core plugin but not the SP plugins is rather word as they all go through an identical channel.

It is also somewhat odd that no status code was returned...

And in the event of that happening I don't think disabling plugins is probably worthwhile although it never hurts to try it just in case.

This message lies in a core WordPress routine so I am going to have to do some research which might take a while. You can, of course always download the plugins manually and use ftp to get them onto your sever if the auto-update continues to fail.

Where are you copying and pasting the link to? Have you taken a look at Forum > Components > Login and Registration? If so, could you elaborate on the problem?

Also not entirely sure how you're using Profile Builder there, we have seen the name before but never in regards to it being used as a membership plugin as such. The important thing is that whatever membership plugin you're using, it must conform to the WP API.

Please make sure to take a look at How to Configure Simple Press With a Membership Plugin. We use WishList Member as an example, but as long as the membership plugin you choose behaves as WordPress expects / requires and doesn't have it's own pool of users separate from WordPress users then the principals are the same.
