    Hello all!

    I’m currently using DirectAdmin + Installatron. I have upgraded my wordpress 3 times and each time when I do an upgrade (via installatron), this happens:

    1) sidebar.php reverts back to the original copy
    2) my plugins that have been activated are “deactivated”
    3) my whole page looks like it’s been through hell until I log on and reactivate my plugins and reinstate sidebar.php

    Any clue on how to prevent this from happening?

    Other than doing a simple manual upgrade as described in the Codex… I don’t see any solution. Obviously, your tools always over-write all your settings.

    Not sure cuz I haven’t used an Installer like that… but it probably deactivates your plugins as a pre-caution. It is recommended to deact all the plugins before upgrading (I usually don’t, and nothing bad has happened to me, but I keep back-ups just in case).

    The sidebar thing is a bit weird, if you’re using a Custom theme. If you’re just using the Default theme, well, that theme has been changed with recent upgrades, so it’s giving you the latest version of the theme.
