 * To Code People:
 * I searched your website and this forum for information on this question and I
   found nothing.
 * I don’t understand why you’re ignoring this question and answering other questions.
 * Is my question too stupid for you to bother with answering?
 * I actually do know how to manually update a plug-in, but in this case, there 
   are several custom forms and a large number of filled in form responses that 
   we don’t want to lose.
 * You could at least respond and tell me to get lost or use a Trumpian insult if
   you don’t want to answer this question.

 * I’m asking if the settings I plan to use will do what I’m saying that I want 
   to do.
 * I don’t understand what the Network Admin Email settings do.
 * I need to know how to use shortcodes, etc. to do the following:
 * 1. Display a global calendar on the main site with all main and sub-site events
   in it.
 * 2. Display a main-site calendar on the main site with only main site events in
   it.
 * 3. Display a calendar on each sub-site with ONLY THAT SUB-SITE’s events plus 
   main site events, but NOT events from the other subsites.

 * Thanks, but we simply wrote an add-on for Contact Form 7 that does the specific
   calculation we needed. Took about 30 minutes, so that was much cheaper than $
   50.00 per WordPress install for your forms processor add-on.

 * I GOOFED in putting in the surrounding code. Here is again.
 * As I said, the only change to the yak-view-confirm.php code is the addition of‘
   ‘
   after the opening ‘,form.’:
 *     ```
       <h3><?php _e('Confirm your order', 'yak'); ?></h3>
       <?php
       include 'yak-view-address-snippet.php';
       ?>
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
       <h3><?php _e('Order Detail', 'yak'); ?></h3>
   
       <form name="confirm2" method="post" action="<?php echo yak_get_permalink('stage=confirm') ?>">
   
       <br>
   
           <table class="yak_order">
               <tr>
                   <th><?php _e('Item', 'yak'); ?></th>
                   <th class="yak_numeric"><?php _e('Price', 'yak') ?></th>
                   <th class="yak_numeric"><?php if (!$hide_quantity) { _e('Qty', 'yak'); } ?></th>
                   <th class="yak_numeric"><?php _e('Subtotal', 'yak') ?></th>
               </tr>
       ```

 * esmi:
 * Thank you for your quick response
 * You seem quite sure that this is a site/server specific issue. Would you please
   state your reasons for believing this to be site/server specific? As I said, 
   I haven’t actually read the code, so, I am relying on testing without going to
   the source.
 * The automatic update creates the .maintenance file without a problem. I know 
   this because when we update an active theme and it fails, the .maintenance file
   is in the root and displays its message.
 * Ownership seems to be an odd possibility for two reasons: 1. Our ownership setup
   has not changed since the automatic updates started failing a few WP releases
   ago. 2. If it were an ownership issue, it seems like whether the theme or plugin
   was active or inactive wouldn’t make any difference – the update would fail (
   or work) either way.
 * I’ve seen a lot of posts from people with automatic update issues indicating 
   that simply changing the permissions or ownership didn’t fix the problem, so 
   I’m not sure whether this is new or whether those for whom the permissions and
   ownership changes didn’t fix the issue were actually having this activation /
   deactivation issue.
 * I only discovered the active / inactive behavior accidentally while working with
   ownership and permissions to see if I could resolve the problem.
 * Anyway, I may have to read the code and do some further testing / debugging to
   see if I can further isolate the issue.
