History: I'm working on a project for a client that involves building 27 unique websites that are built on wordpress. I say unique, because (for reasons that are not worth going into here) they aren't and can't be installed in a multi-site environment. Each of these sites will have the same theme installed and one or two custom plugins as well. I can't use the WordPress theme directory, because the theme is specifically built for my client and won't work …
I've a problem with my WordPress website getting updated after I make changes to its code: I'm using phpStorm with auto-save, running the website on WAMP, locally. Therefore, right after I right new code, the file in which I write the code in should be updated, and the website quickly after that. Yet the website doesn't update. I'm not using any cache plugins, and in my browser, Chrome, I disabled caching. Also, it does get updated, but only after I …
i recently installed wordpress manually on a linux cloud machine via DigitalOcean which I migrated from a previous hosting service. But now there is a warning up top of my Settings page that says "An automated WordPress update has failed to complete - please attempt the update again now." I have been looking for a solution but the only ones i can find is to delete the wp-content/upgrade/ folder and .maintenance file. The former I have deleted and the latter …
I am running WordPress on Ubuntu with Apache and MySQL. I would like to automatically install minor and security updates to WordPress. However, as I understand it, the standard auto-update mechanism (see also How exactly do automatic updates work?) is ultimately fired off by a web request, meaning that the update process runs as the apache user (for me it's www-data). So the www-data user has to have permissions to write to WordPress's php files. This makes me uncomfortable - …
I have several WordPress sites that I want to enable auto update. I installed Background Update Tester to verify that the updates were enabled correctly, but I get the following message: FAIL: The AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED constant is defined as true. It was defined as true in wp-config.php, but after I removed the line, it's still saying that the constant is true. I also tried to define the constant as false to no avail. I also tried to add this filter inside …
Hi I want to achieve the following szenario and asking for advice to start off Szenario We have an external mysql-database filled with product informations. This database is delivering data for a few online-shops. The access to the database is possible directly per mysql connection or as i prefer per homegrown API. (http-request). The result can be fetched as a JSON-formated array. We now want several wordpress environments on different servers / countries and display filtered product information. We want …
I have Wordpress running on my dedicated server, and I thought it would be a good idea to use Git so that I can track changes that I make over time. I have updated a few things, mostly just little changes to CSS or commenting out some HTML from PHP pages. Q1: Will Wordpress notice these changes and merge them into new versions of the files it installs? A few days ago I was able to update translations and a …
I've setup all permissions and directories/files correctly according to Wordpress. Adding plugins/installing/updating works perfectly, but when it comes to updating to 4.7.2, it asks me for FTP details or if I force FileSystem (direct) in the WP config file, it says it couldn't update due to inconsistent file permissions or not being able to create the directory. Literally all file permissions and user permissions are setup as per the recommondation from wordpress, however I can't update the core. The log …
I have plugin that has the same name as other plugin uploaded to wordpress.org How can i make it unique so it doesn't share "View Detais" link and auto-update with other plugin uploaded to wordpress.org? Considering that name of my plugin has to be exactly name it already has and cannot be changed. I've already tried adding this code to myplugin.php: add_filter( 'site_transient_update_plugins', 'filter_plugin_updates' ); function filter_plugin_updates( $value ) { if (!empty($value)) { unset( $value->response['myplugin/myplugin.php'] ); return $value; } } …
I have WordPress installs in my IIS localhost server on Win7 desktop done manually and with WebPI install.Both installs are under IIS default website. Either asks for FTP credentials when I try to auto update to the latest WP version. I have FTP server enabled on IIS (users IUSR and Richard). I have checked that read write permissions are enabled on the wordpress root & wp-content folders. I try putting in the credential values but keep getting no response or …
One of my WordPress sites suddenly got updated to 5.9 from 5.8.3 and I got an email notification. I don't know why it's updated, I don't have any update-related entry on my wp-config.php file. Is there any way to know the current auto-update status for the WordPress core? It'll help me to understand future updates.
Using the automatic update of my self-hosted WordPress blogs, I configured automatic updates of both the WordPress core as well as WordPress plugins and themes (through this plugin). Whenever a core update occurs, I get an email like: Your site has updated to WordPress 3.9.2 Howdy! Your site at http://example.org has been updated automatically to WordPress 3.9.2. No further action is needed on your part. For more on version 3.9.2, see the About WordPress screen: http://example.org/wp-admin/about.php If you experience any …
We've turned on WordPress Auto-Updates (yey!), but, just in case this does break anything, we'd like to only run Auto-Updates during daylight hours (e.g. 09:00 - 17:30). We have the "on init" WP-Cron disabled, and are calling it from the servers crontab every 10 minutes. How can adapt the AutoUpdate, so all updates are run during these times? I've looked at hooks for WP-Cron, but got a little lost. Additionally - is there a hook that fires once an auto-updated …
I have the following problem. I have created a plugin for Wordpress. In the first versions of the plugin I forced users to auto update using this function: function my_plugin_auto_update ( $update, $item ) { $plugins = array ( 'my_plugin' ); if ( in_array( $item->slug, $plugins ) ) { // update plugin return true } else { // use default settings return $update; } } add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', 'my_plugin_auto_update ', 10, 2 ); The user had no way to disable auto-update. …
I've been using LinkedIn Company Updates plugin for over 2 years to display linkedin feeds into wordpress site. But it's not working anymore. I've been trying over a week now to find a way to solve this. I read many forum posts, many other people have the same issue but I didn't find any solution and there is no word from this plugin developer either. And apparently, as far I know this is the only wordpress plugin I've found that …
I had a white screen of death that I was somewhat able to resolve. I updated PHP from 7.0 to 7.3.2, removed BOM from wp-config.php, and deleted wp super cache plugin. From looking at others issues on this site, I deduced that it was caused by incomplete or broken automatic updates. I still see this on /wp-login.php Warning: include_once(/hermes/bosnaweb21a/b783/apo.xyz/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosnacweb04/bosnacweb04ck/b783/apo.xyz/wp-content/advanced-cache.php on line 20 Warning: include_once(): Failed opening '/hermes/bosnaweb21a/b783/apo.xyz/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php' for inclusion …
I was looking for a solution for how to schedule updates for the published posts on x date. Since we can only schedule a post to publish in WordPress on X date/time so how can we schedule a post for republish. By doing this our content will be refreshed and the published date/time will also be changed. Any suggestion and help will be appreciated.
I would like to be able to test automatic updates of plugins that I have developed. After enabling auto updates for individual plugins on the plugins page, how can I trigger the update or when can I expect the updates to take place?
