 * I installed Simple Cache 1.2 on my four sites. Just received the update to 1.2.1
   and in each attempt to tick the Update option, I received this notice: “Plugin
   update failed.”
 * I then had to deactivate Simple Cache, then update it, then reactivate it, and
   then it worked.
 * Upon reactivation, I received this notice: “Woops! Caching was turned off in 
   wp-config.php, or an important file.”
 * I ticked the Fix button and it was apparently fixed.
 * Now all seems well in the world, but I thought you should be aware of this.

 * PS: I also had to update another plugin at the same time, and there were no problems
   with that one..

 * Thanks Neal. Sounds like an update hiccup.
