Autoupdate to WP 3.8.3 has disabled qTranslate plugin

    With the new auto-update functionality in WordPress, my site automatically updated to WP 3.8.3 this morning, at which point the qTranslate plugin stopped working. The front of the site still shows the correct languages, but the page/post editor only works in English i.e. as it was before using the plugin.

    There is a warning:
    “The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn’t been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.”

    but clicking to re-enable the plugin does not work! I have had to revert to an older version of WP manually (3.8.1 as this plugin is not compatible with 3.8.2 either) and stop auto updates too by changing the wp-config file.

    This is a HORRIBLE default action to be taken by this plugin!!

    PS here’s the official download page where it states the incompatibility:

    Sadly the WP official repository isn’t correct as it states this plugin is compatible to 3.8.3: see screenshot http://screencast.com/t/isqZPI0Q

    That’s a bug in the qtranslate system, it should only compare the minor version (it’s compatible with 3.8.x) instead of the patch version (which is distributed with no notice whatsoever and should’t break compatibility).

    This happens every time a new release is out. Because this is just a patch version, you can safely trick qtranslate into thinking that it is configured to run with 3.8.3. Change qtranslate.php line 90 from:
    define('QT_SUPPORTED_WP_VERSION', '3.8.2'); to define('QT_SUPPORTED_WP_VERSION', '3.8.3');

    bliss, it worked – that’s a heck of a lot easier than the manual restore route I went – thanks again 🙂

    please note, re-enabling qtranslate might be a bit trickier with the upcoming WP 3.9 release:

    Thanks very much for the heads-up, whaus – I’ve got auto-updates switched off, and I’ll follow this & the other thread you’ve linked to, until I know a “proper” version of qtranslate is running for 3.9.x …
    much appreciated.

    You’re most welcome boerea!

    In the thread that @whaus links to I also posted the solution that worked for me, as I had auto-updates on that kept messing me around.

    The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn't been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.

    @killbrum – depending on your version of WordPress, you may need to revert to an older version as I describe in the post I linked to above
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/qtranslate-and-wordpress-39?replies=47

    that’s the only way I could solve it for myself.

    Solution from iggyvolz worked for me as well, my version had the 3.8.1 line.
    I noticed sometimes the plugin starts working fine, but after some activation or deactivation of other plugins breaks it.
    And ma_wordpressorg, i have set an auto_update line to false in the wp-config file from all websites i make.
