Just a note. cPanel is STILL doing this. I've now disabled cPAddons and use Softaculous for software installs for my company. Starting to be able to count on cPanel less and less each year now. They are starting to just blame everyone else for everything, and most of their software is so far behind. Like why are you not supporting HTTP2 yet? Funny how our internal staff panel we build runs it no problem. But some how cPanel can't? They're getting super lazy.

Just to get my google search terms out there for others I'll copy paste it here for SEO sake (Must've read 10 other sites before I found this solution here. Which WordFence worked awesomely I might add): no option to update wordpress only plugins and themes will update
