pfSense stuck on 2.7.0

At the time of writing the latest current stable pfSense CE firmware version is 2.7.2 but sometimes it is stuck at 2.7.0 and doesnt offer the update, web or CLI.

Perform a config backup (just in case) via the web interface

SSH to the IP and use the CLI menu

Attempt option 13) Update from Console , which will probably fail with a message similar to: ERROR: It was not possible to determine pfSense-upgrade remote version

Back in console menu, select option 8) Shell and enter the following commands:

pkg-static upgrade (may fail with error, if you receive an error with something like a kernel mismatch version run this command pkg-static upgrade -f and select Yes when asked to ignore

pkg-static set -v 0 pfSense-rc (this unsets the 'vital' flag on core files to allow upgrade)

pkg-static upgrade

Reboot, log in to the web interface and you should be on 2.7.2 firmware.
