In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] [Plugin: Exploit Scanner] 0.97 blanks my siteThanks for the report. I guess you’re using a host running PHP 4 which doesn’t support abstract classes. If this is the case then the quick fix for now is to remove the
abstractkeyword on line 346 (leave the rest intact) and comment out line 349 (which readsabstract function run();).Sorry for the delay, this is done now.

In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] I’m not receiving emails.This shows that the problem was with the timing of visits to your site. Update Notifier (and the internal check for core, theme and plugin updates) are scheduled to run daily (twice-daily), but are only triggered when your site is visited. My test was to enforce a cross-over between Update Notifier’s scheduled time, the time that it is run AND the WordPress installation having known updates available.
If you left it non-updated for another 24 hours you should receive another notification (after a visit to your site triggers the job to run).

In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] I’m not receiving emails.It’s possible that the timing caused you to not get an email (i.e. Update Notifier made a check and saw no updates had been registered by WordPress, then you subsequently visited the site at which point the internal update check was triggered and updates were found).
The best way to test Update Notifier would be to have an out of date plugin uploaded, make sure WordPress knows there are updates (so you can see the little number bubble etc.) and then deactivate -> reactivate Update Notifier and visit another page on the site. This will reset the scheduled check times starting with a check straight away and hopefully you should receive an email. (Obviously the settings need to be enabled to send updates about plugins, do this before deactivation/reactivation step)

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…I’m afraid I cannot see how this is happening. At the moment my guess would be something to do with your hosting/specific setup. Would you be able to email me: updatenotifier at lionsgoroar.co.uk ?

In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] Suggested Updates/FeaturesNo problem. I’ll look into changing the frequency of emails over the summer.

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…Well that looks as I would expect it to, after much searching I cannot see what is going wrong here…
Were you able to try the development version?
Will continue to see if I can find out what is happening.

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…I am still unable to reproduce this (tried with the same setup as you carl_pilk), and also I am finding it hard to work out how it could happen. Update Notifier uses settings saved by WordPress itself to check if a new version is available, so I would have thought that you would also be seeing the yellow update nag in the administration area.
It may be helpful to check what is saved in this setting to get some more information on what is going on. All the info (for core updates) used by Update Notifier is taken from the ‘update_core’ transient. I have a test version update-notifier-menu.php which displays the admin menu with extra info and doesn’t send emails. Just place that in the main plugin directory (along with hello.php – that is Hello Dolly) and activate it (after deactivating the normal version of Update Notifier). The actual code for doing this (if you want to add this yourself instead) is:
$current = get_transient('update_core'); print_r( $current );In the test plugin the (possibly) useful output is under the heading “Contents of update_core transient” at the bottom of the Update Notifier admin menu page.
After doing that you could also try using the development version – link straight to the zip or go to Other Versions on the Update Notifier page – to see if there’s a difference (don’t see what though!)
Sorry I cannot be of more help atm, scratching my head in disbelief mostly 🙁

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…Is it saying you’re running version “abc”? Are you running any plugins or custom functions which might change the version?
And thanks for the heads up.

In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] Suggested Updates/FeaturesI’ll have a look into it 🙂

In reply to: Update Notifier and Wibiya ToolbarThis is because WordPress itself cannot discover that there is an update (I notice you made the thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/402552)… I think this is because the readme.txt for this plugin has a Stable Tag of “trunk” (though I don’t have access to v1.0 only 2.0) whilst the version number in wibiya.php is “2.0” or (I’m guessing) “1.0”. Try getting in contact with the plugin author to fix this.

In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] I’m not receiving emails.Good idea; AJAX request button added – see development version for now (http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/update-notifier.zip), I will probably release as 1.3.1 tomorrow.

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…Looking at this again quickly, it seems as if this won’t occur in version 1.3 even if WP Security Scan plugin is installed. This is because wp_cron is called before the init action (to which the version removal is hooked).
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: Update Notifier] Link to Plugin Upgrade Page?Good idea. Added to 1.3 today. Thanks.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…I believe you must have the WP-Security-Scanner plugin running. This changes the global $wp_version to be ‘abc’.
The fix for this is commenting out line 53 in securityscan.php, the line which reads:
add_action("init",mrt_remove_wp_version,1);I’m updating this plugin to include a warning about this and some stuff in the FAQ.
Thanks
