Title: No update required loop Last modified: September 24, 2016 --- # No update required loop * Resolved [hmseb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hmseb/) * (@hmseb) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/) * Hi, * After I’ve update the plugin I get stuck in a “No update required, database already up-to-date” loop. * I tried several times to enable the plugin, but every time I have, I need to delete the file object-cache.php to avoid the loop. * Any idea on what I should try next?

I can’t access any option on the plugin… * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8218107) * Try using the `redis-cli` or a desktop client like Medis. * [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8218638) * Could [this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-function-public-instead-of-private/) be the problem? Every problem with object cache I had (with memcached) disappeared after [this modification](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-private-to-public-functions/). * WPEngine actually forces memcached object cache so it must be possible to stop these loops and other random issues with a redis object cache class. I do not get them with the modified memcached plugin (where i changed the functions from private to public). * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8219143) * The only `private` property is `$redis` right now and unless you can show me where WordPress is accessing that property directly changing it from private to public won’t do anything. * In v1.3.4 I tried to fix this weird caching issue for over a day but I couldn’t get the plugin to flush the Redis database when activating, deactivating and uninstalling the plugin, because the WordPress architecture is from the middle ages. * [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8219154) * It is just my hunch since all of my past problems with object cache were fixed when modifying memcached. * Perhaps the object-cache class needs to be updated or a PR for WordPress core to be friendlier to external object cache daemons? * Out of curiosity were you doing cache flush and deleting transients in your tests? * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8219248) * [@hmseb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hmseb/): I’ve added a couple of notes on how to flush your Redis server directly: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-before-you-post-24/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-before-you-post-24/) * [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8219268) * [@tillkruess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) suggestion about that thread, move 2 ‘2. If you’re experiencing a compatibility issue with another 3rd-party plugin, please contact the author of the other plugin regarding the issue. This plugin is **very unlikely** to be the cause of the issue.’ * after 5. ‘5. Most issues can be solved by flushing the Redis database. You can do that through a desktop client like Medis or Redis Desktop Manager, or alternatively by calling redis-cli flushall.’ * It makes more troubleshooting sense as the user will read the items in order. With this order the user will then have read that if they have issues to flush the cache first, then if that fails to contact the developer. Having the ‘contact developer of the other plugin’ so early on will likely generate unnecessary support requests. * [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8230636) * Hey [@tillkruess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) can you tell me what you tried to work around this error. I just saw it happen with memcached as well and will be hiring someone to try and fix it. If I can have them skip what you already tried it will save some time and if I get a solution I will pass it on to you. * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8231273) * I’d try flushing the cache immediately after activating, before deactivating/ uninstalling. You can’t rely on the `WP_Object_Cache` object, because that won’t be available until the next request, so I’d write a small standalone “connect& flush” method. * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8392459) * [@blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) did you solve this? * [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8393052) * [@tillkruess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) I did not but my ideas were these, happy to help test if you like * use symlinks and unlink when update occurs delete transients wp cache flush ( I believe you already tried this) * [Terence Milbourn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pubdirltd/) * (@pubdirltd) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-update-required-loop/#post-8541152) * Two different sites and in both cases “redis-cli flushall” saved the day.
