# Update Redirect Loop

 * I have this plugin installed on a Kubernetes cluster where my plugins are sourced
   from a network drive for two nodes running each site. The core of WordPress is
   inside my docker image, which gets rebuilt and deployed whenever a new WordPress
   update is rolled out. When the update does happen for the core, this plugin causes
   a “No Update Required” with message “Your WordPress database is already up to
   date!” loop. Any idea how to prevent this?

 * Are all containers using the exact same `WP_REDIS_*` configuration constants?

 * This is my full config block from my terraform chart. The `WP_REDIS_PREFIX` is
   the same as the database name every site connects to. This is a unique value 
   for each site. The rest is the same for all other sites with a set of redis pods
   per node.

 * This loop only happens when the core is updated to the next version of WordPress.
   The core install comes within the docker image used for the pods with the web
   server root folder shared between each pod of a site. The content for the site
   itself (wp_content) is stored on NFS volume, which is mounted into the public
   root folder. Let me know if I can provide any other information for this. The
   issue only seems to happen when an autoupdate within the active instance is triggered.
   If I run a build, and the full site is rebuilt, this issues does not seem to 
   happen, but it is a bit difficult to tell. The issue does not happen every time
   the core is updated, and it is very sporadic.
 * If there are any useful pieces of information I can provide let me know. Next
   time I notice it, I am happy to run any diagnostics and share that before I fix
   the issue manually.

 * Have you tried a full cache flush before trying to update?

 * I have not done that, but I would think it would be possible to do that with 
   some additional work on the cluster. However, for the time being I do have the
   issue at the moment, and I would be happy to provide any diagnostics on a couple
   sites before resolving it by rebuilding the individual nodes.

 * I’ve seen this issue reported 1-2 times a year, for almost a decade now and I’ve
   never been able to reproduce it or figure out what could cause it.
 * Unfortunately the only suggestion I have is to flush Redis when this loop occurs.
