Mine just updated to 3.8.1 and broke my site.
Here are my settings:
Automatic Updates Enabled : No
Everything gets grayed out till
Disable VCS check : Checkmark
Update Emails enabled: Yes
Send emails for successfully updates: Check
Send emails for failed updates: Yes
Send emails for critically failed updates: Yes
@persiusx please start a separate support topic.
I have the same settings as persiusx (and had before the update too), plus at the end “Send Update Debug Emails?” that is unchecked.
Ditto what Fizzgigg wrote: same settings, same automatic update from 3.8 to 3.8.1 (but happily it didn’t break my site).
I just want to add THANK YOU for writing this plugin. Even if it’s not working at the moment. 🙂 WP ought to have included this functionality when they introduced automatic updates.
I agree with Bill Statler. Auto update was a good thought, but forcing everybody to auto update was in my opinion a strange and bad decision.
Thank for this plugin, and I am confident we can sort this out. And later maybe even translations? 🙂
Thanks for your patience, all. I found the issue, and it’s an easily-fixed bug with the Plugin. This line:
if ( ! $options['active'] ) {
add_filter( 'auto_upgrader_disabled', '__return_true', 1 );
return; // It's all disabled, no need to check the others.
}
The name of the filter is wrong. It should be auto_updater_disabled.
If I recall correctly, many of the filter names were changed during WordPress 3.7 beta-testing prior to release. I missed this one. I apologize.
I’ll push out a fix immediately.
Just pushed version 1.3.1, which addresses this issue. Thanks again for your patience!
@persiusx:
I also wanted to say: minor-version updates should never “break” your site. They’re only bugfix/security releases. If your site broke somehow after a minor-version update, you should start a support topic for that site-breakage, in the appropriate forum:
http://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform
Please be sure to provide all relevant details, including:
1. WordPress version before update
2. WordPress version after update
3. Active Theme
4. Active Plugins
5. Any error messages received during/after update
6. Exact nature of the site breakage, with proper debugging
Excellent work with the update, Chip. The difference between a trustworthy developer and an untrustworthy one is not so much the ability to avoid mistakes, but the ability does deal with them as they appear. 🙂
Thank you for that.
If you’re looking for a developer who always avoids mistakes, you’re looking in the wrong place. 🙂 But, I do my best to keep track of them, and correct them as soon as I can.
