After some testing and porting I have multisite working, and I love this functionality... Excellent job.. works as a charm...
The only thing I have not figured out yet is how to update my wordpress version. I run 3.1.2 now and I see 3.1.3 is out. When I run update the message is that I have the current version
What am I missing?
Please advise

And you went to network admin -> updates, yes?
/wp-admin/network/update-core.php
Are you running any kind of upgrading plugin?
Did you update the rest of the sites in the network?
Posted 1 year ago #
I ran site.com/wp-admin/network/update-core.php
Last checked on June 13, 2011 at 3:25 pm. Check Again
You have the latest version of WordPress.
Not running any updating plugins
Did not do any update from within a site in the network
In the network sites there is also no notification of an outdated core.
Any suggestions?

Did you disable updates in the config file?
Are you aware you can always update manually?
Posted 1 year ago #
I did not disable updates, have installed wp-cache though..
I would love to have wp warn me on updates, which it does not do now...
Any other suggestions

Turn off caching.

I am lost

It's possible your server's blocking the connection check. This isn't a localhost install, is it?

Thanks Ipstenu, the website is on a regular host, plugins installing from wordpress directly works fine, so I guess it is not a blocking of connection.
Somehow I have a sandbox site without mu that updates fine... guess I need to create a mu sandbox too...

No, installing plugins is a separate thing that checking for update. The process by which WP checks for updates may be blocked, is what I'm wondering.

Ok,
How can I check if that is blocked?

That I cannot remember off the top of my head... *gonig to look*

That's what I was asking up above.
Posted 1 year ago #
I copied my site to a sandbox location
Disabled all plugins
and even commented out:
//define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
//define( 'MULTISITE', true );
//define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
//$base = '/';
//define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com' );
//define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
//define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
//define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
//define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
Ran the update (then it is not a network update, but hey.. lets look if that works), and still 3.1.2 is the up to date version
Blocking updates could be true... but now idea how to check it or fix it

Yeah, I'm looking. Sorry, I got derailed with an 'Angry User' attack :/

Updates are identical when using multisite. Same files coming from the same place.
Posted 1 year ago #
But the update CHECK (the part of WP that 'phones home' to say 'Do I have an update?') is NOT the same as the part where you go to plugins, search for a plugin and download one.
And I'm not sure which one robov means with this
"plugins installing from wordpress directly works fine"
Are you getting notifications when your PLUGINS need to be updated?
Posted 1 year ago #
I do not know if I get notifications of plugins, guess they are not outdated yet.
I am really lost now on how to do updates... and even worse... I feel stupid that I cannot figure out why it is not working
It shows version 3.1.2 in the lower right hand corner and it still mentions: You have the latest version of WordPress.
Thanks for the support

There's an easy (manual) way to check, y'know ;) Go to the plugin directory on this site and see if any of your plugins are out of date.

You get plugin update notcies in network admin. Yu'll see a number in a circle on the updates menu, even in the admin bar, and on the updates screen it will show you any plgins or themes that need updates as well as core.
Don;t feel stupid tho, cuz its quite possible the server you're on could have it blocked as well.

thanks , I did see plugin and wp updates on my other (non multisite) sites. Even on the same server...
But I feel stupid I cannot get teh multisite to update...
I have no clue what to do next to figure out why it is not updating and how to fix that...

It's not something in and of MULTISITE that would restrict the phone-home to the server to check for updates. And unless we're talking same server, same user account, same everything, then there STILL could be differences.
Ask your host if they block any phone-home features?
Posted 1 year ago #
or if they have it blocked in the firewall on that account.
