Moodle 3.1 on CentOS 6.8

Today I got a message saying there is a new plugin version for reports on the admin side, but it was preventing users from accessing the site. I was able to resolve the issue until I had downloaded the new plugin and place it in the ready to install mode. I researched the issue here:

"Site Admin>Server>Update Notification", but I don't see anything specific to controlling these messages from popping up. Any ideas how to control these plug in messages? Thanks

I can't think what you mean. You should only see these messages on certain admin screens. 

Any chance of a screen shot?

Well, I guess this only happens for the sys admin. When I tried accessing

the sys admin page, I saw the plugins installation page requiring me to

update the plugin in question (reports plugin update) ;otherwise, the

system wiould not allow access to the other pages. I am somewhat confused

myself why this would be the case.

Maybe this is the issue. It will lock the sys admin screen until the plugin

is updated?

Automatically check for available updatesupdateautocheck

Default: Yes



If enabled, your site will automatically check for available updates for

both Moodle code and all additional plugins. If there is a new update

available, a notification will be sent to site admins.

Yes.  If you disable that, you will then just have to look for updates manually but will avoid the upgrade screen.  Or you could just upgrade the plugin in question and move forward!
