Automatic Update performs Downgrade to WP 3.8.11

    Hello WordPressers,

    I’m using WordPress 4.3.1.
    Whenever a new version is released, my installation is downgraded to 3.8.1x.
    This is a problem because my homepage does not display correctly anymore.

    In the update mail they say something like “Your hompage has automatically been updated to WordPress 3.8.11” and “WordPress 4.3.1 is available as well”.
    When I login to my dashboard and do the update to 4.3.1 manually, then everything is ok again – until the next automatic update, when my WP is downgraded to 3.8.11 again.

    I assume, that there went something wrong when updating from 3.8.x to 4.3.x and that a setting in the database or the config files was not updated correctly.

    Can anybody help me out of this?
    Has anyobody any idea what I could check/change in my settings?

    Cheers,
    Chribo

    A wild guess would be a hosting issue. What’s your URL?

    The URL is http://www.bobstberatung.ch.
    What kind of hosting issue could that be? What are you thinking of?

    Grepping for “wordpress 3.8” in my WordPress installation took me to “schema.sql”.
    There I found the entry

    (101, ‘_site_transient_update_core’, ‘O:8:”stdClass”:4:{s:7:”updates”;a:2:{i:0;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:47:”http://de.wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-de_DE.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”de_DE”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:47:”http://de.wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-de_DE.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;b:0;s:11:”new_bundled”;b:0;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:3:”3.8″;s:7:”version”;s:3:”3.8″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”3.8″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}i:1;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:39:”https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”en_US”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:39:”https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;s:50:”https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-no-content.zip”;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:51:”https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-new-bundled.zip”;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:3:”3.8″;s:7:”version”;s:3:”3.8″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”3.8″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}}s:12:”last_checked”;i:1389340957;s:15:”version_checked”;s:3:”3.8″;s:12:”translations”;a:0:{}}’, ‘yes’),

    containing lots of references to WordPress 3.8.

    Looking for the “_site_transient_update_core” entry in the MySQL database (after a successful (manual) update to WP 4.3.1) I find the following value for it:

    O:8:”stdClass”:4:{s:7:”updates”;a:1:{i:0;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:65:”https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/de_DE/wordpress-4.3.1.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”de_DE”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:65:”https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/de_DE/wordpress-4.3.1.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;b:0;s:11:”new_bundled”;b:0;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:7:”version”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”4.1″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}}s:12:”last_checked”;i:1444055649;s:15:”version_checked”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:12:”translations”;a:0:{}}”

    containing references to WordPress 4.3.1 (which seems qutie reasonable to me).

    Could the “schema.sql” file be the problem?
