Techie Buzz: WordPress Automatic Upgrade 1.2 Release

  • Nirmal · 1 year ago
    This is by far the most amazing plugins I have used for WP. I upgraded to 2.6 with the old version, no issues.
  • Keith Dsouza · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the kind words Nirmal :)
  • DazzlinDonna · 1 year ago
    Is it possible for a WP plugin developer to be my hero? Well, you are. You are, imo, a genius, and the WPAU plugin has got to be THE BEST plugin ever. It totally rocks, and WP should purchase it from you for a few million dollars. I tell EVERYONE who uses WP about the plugin, because it is just that good. I upgraded 6 blogs last night without even breaking a sweat, all thanks to your plugin - and that's WITHOUT your update. Now, with this update, and with the upcoming changes, well...you may be elevated beyond hero status.

    Seriously...you rock. Thanks for making this plugin.
  • Keith Dsouza · 1 year ago
    Hi Donna,

    Thanks for the appreciation, it really makes me feel proud. It gives me the encouragement to do more things that will help people without having to expect something in return just because of such appreciations :).

    Well that said there are several things in the pipeline and you will definitely see more from me.

    Well I have a problem with it:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class snoopy in E:\inetpub\vhosts\elektrix.si\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-snoopy.php on line 47

    Any ideas?

    Wordpress 2.6
  • Keith Dsouza · 1 year ago
    Thanks OBELIKS, the issue has been fixed download using the same link or wait for visit WordPress plugin page to automatically upgrade.
  • Sujit · 1 year ago
    Such a great plugin.Hats Off.I just used it today to upgrade to 2.6.No problem! step by step guide.I also recommended in my blog to use this plugin.
    Thankx to the creator.
  • Alan · 1 year ago
    Brilliant plugin, used the old version to upgrade a site to 2.6 and didn't have any problems. Glad to know that you released an updated version for 2.6
  • nyunyu · 1 year ago
    I am still using WP 2.5.1. Can I just update WPAU to the latest version and then let it upgrade my blog? Will it be compatible with WP2.5.1?

    Btw, I'm using this plugin for my other blog and I'm very sure to upgrade it now. :)

    Thanks keith.
  • Bytetips · 1 year ago
    Last time i used this i had some problem. It didn't activated any plugin last time..
  • Ajay · 1 year ago
    Any reason why you disabled the automatic mode. It was really convenient. This step by step mode is painful :(

    Can we have that back.

    I'm running into the Site Maintenance error. I have phpsuexec installed on my server, so I don't need to set permissions.
  • Rattling the Kettle · 1 year ago
    Thank you so much for this terrific plugin. I just used it to upgrade to WP 2.6. With your plugin, I successfully upgraded without a hitch in under one minute. Without your plugin, upgrading to 2.5 took me over an hour, I broke my blog in the process, and my wife had to restrain me from throwing my laptop through the television set.

    In short, your plugin saved my marriage. :-)
  • IHB · 1 year ago
    Can I use this to go from WP 2.3.2 to the current version? This thing looks cool!!
  • Leo · 1 year ago
    Hi,

    Thanks for this plugin. It's really convenient for those who are not so familiar with upgrading manually. And it's also great to know internationalization support will be added.

    Thanks again!

    Regards
    Leo
  • IHB · 1 year ago
    Can you use this to upgrade from a 2.3 version up to the latest version in one step?
  • nashid · 1 year ago
    Thanks for this plugin. It worked flawlessly doing my upgrade.
  • nashid · 1 year ago
    Great plugin. Worked flawlessly.
  • web about money · 1 year ago
    very good plugin!
  • Thomas · 1 year ago
    Not working -- whatever, fine, I'll update manually. But I can't delete the directory either. In 2 attempts, uploading didn't just add the intended 18 files but also
    .pureftpd-upload.487f8d05.15.2895.17e1d00c one time, and
    .pureftpd-upload.487f8ae3.15.646e.85cdefcd the next.

    When I try to delete the directory, I can't because of these 2 files. When I try to delete the 2 files, I get an error message like:
    ERROR 550 Prohibited filename: pureftpd-upload.487f8d05.15.2895.17e1d00c : /public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/.pureftpd-upload.487f8d05.15.2895.17e1d00c

    They are 0 0 0 0 files, no read write execute permissions. When I try to change those permissions, I'm not allowed to do that either.

    How can I eliminate these files and this directory?
  • nyunyu · 1 year ago
    Did your uploads stopped half way? The file is actually a temp file created when you have problem with your uploads.
  • Zeninfocus · 1 year ago
    Thanks! This plugin will be very handy for upgrading! Cheers
  • Christina Warren · 1 year ago
    Even though I've gone ahead and transitioned my main WP-install to SVN for even easier updates, I just wanted to thank you and give you kudos for all the hard work you've done with this plugin. I often use it for my MAMP installs and recommend it to people who are less tech savvy and fear upgrades.

    I never had a problem upgrading the standard way, but the plugin just made it THAT much easier (and as I said, this is a godsend for people who either can't be bothered doing all the usual stuff or are truly afraid of mucking something up).

    This is the type of thing that should absolutely be included in default WP-installs (it can be disabled for users who want control).
  • Dave Kaufman - Techlife · 1 year ago
    During the upgrade of the plugin (which still updated to WP2.6 just fine) I got the following:
    ---------------------
    Upgrade Plugin

    Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress...

    Unpacking the update

    Deactivating the plugin

    Removing the old version of the plugin

    Could not remove the old plugin

    Installation Failed
    ------------------------

    Not sure why? I just manually upgraded, but thought you should know.
  • Kurt · 1 year ago
    Hi Keith,

    Does this work if I have a very old version fo wordpress to upgrade from, ie v2.0.3?

    I heard that the way wordpress interfaces with the SQL database has changed, and thus will have a problem if I upgrade directly from the older version to the new version?

    Thanks
  • Kriszta · 1 year ago
    I updated 2 blogs, worked beautifully!
    Then with the 3rd one I ran into this (after clicking "Get the Latest Version from wordpress.org"):

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 500001 bytes) in /home/hunrealc/public_html/realestate/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/lib/snoopy.class.php on line 900

    Any ideas?
  • Jane · 1 year ago
    I upgraded to 2.6 without issues. Awesome plug in! I donated for this one. It saved me time and anxiety.
  • Steve · 1 year ago
    For some reason, the Automatic Update plug in says everything was updated successfully, but my site still says it is 2.5.1? Anyone else have this issue?
  • H. J. Brubaker · 1 year ago
    I have to echo so many in saying what a great plugin this is. I've upgraded a few of ours but on one that's going from 2.21 to the latest I get "Oops sorry you are not authorized to do this" on the first step after it does the check and I believe it after clicking the "Let's Go" box. Any ideas?

    Thanks
  • Jacob Burke · 1 year ago
    I have tried to activate the plugin on my WordPress installation, but I am getting an Error 500 - Internal server error. Any thoughts on why this could be happening? Thanks!
  • Joe · 1 year ago
    I activated and started the Updater. Everything was going just fine until I got kicked out of the system and forced to Login again. I can't login at all - I even reset my password and I'm still blocked.

    Help!

    My site is still online and everything appears to be working fine, but I can't get in...
  • Michael · 1 year ago
    Joe,

    I'm having the same problem. It doesn't look like anyone responded to your question. Have you been able to log back in? If so, how did you do it?

  • Soverato News · 1 year ago
    Keith Dsouza,
    your plugin work very well on the site i tested it, only one problem comes out after upgrading i have to restore file and folder permission to come out of a server 500 error, maybe plugin have to read file and folder permission before upgrading and set it as he found it.

    ciao
  • Maciej Miasik · 1 year ago
    I got the following error after installing the plugin and activating it:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'miasik.wpau_upgrade_log' doesn't exist]
    SELECT count(*) as counter from wpau_upgrade_log

    It is displayed in Administration/Automatic Upgrade tab.
  • Jean-Luc Benazet · 1 year ago
    I'm stuck in Maintenance mode ! The update worked fine and finished fine...

    Still my blog keeps saying:

    Any idea ?

  • Mike · 1 year ago
    I like this plugin a lot, but I have one bug to report. For some reason when I upgraded it set my character encoding to UTF-6 which caused my new posts to be truncated. Everything was fine once I changed to UTF-8. I'm not sure how or why this happend but I thought you should know.

    Cheers

  • jonthedon · 1 year ago
    Help!

    Tried running the plugin, which seemed to work, until I completed it. It hasn't updated the site, and the main page is stuck in maintenance mode. Deleted index.php as instructed in the FAQ, and renamed index.php.wpau.bak file to index.php.

    Now I get this:

    Thanks for plugin upgraded to 2.6 in 6-7 steps.. rock on..
  • MZ · 1 year ago
    I was disappointed to discover that after installing this plug-in, then trying the automatic upgrade, I could no longer login to my administrative panel -- no matter what I tried. So after spending too much time to try to fix it, I just gave up and did a clean install --- anyone had a similar problem? I'd be hesitant to install this plug-in again...hopefully future versions will not produce such an error.
  • Kristina Brooke · 1 year ago
    this plugin has broken two sites that i have tried to use it on. I am doing a clean install now.
  • NeoSwf · 1 year ago
    Hey
    First of all- Thanks for the plugin.

    I installed version 1.2.1.
    When i follow the step "Get the Latest Version from wordpress.org", I get this error: "Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_upgrade.class.php on line 54 In hereFinished Unzipping In here"

    What to do?

    Thanks,

  • gowers · 1 year ago
    I like it! Thanks
  • Dawn of Dawn's Recipes · 1 year ago
    This is an amazing plugin! Thank you so much! One suggestion I have is to have it rebuild permalinks after upgrading. I have to do this manually after running the plugin for my site to work properly. It's not a big deal since you've saved me so much time on the upgrade process, but I might as well make the suggestion. =)

    Thanks again!

    In trying to run WPAU from WP-2.60 -> 2.61 I got this output;

    "Oops we cannot run the WordPress Automatic Update on your site. We are currently trying to fix issues for systems like yours and will release a new version shortly."

    CentOS: 5.02 64 bit

    Some clarification on the above output would be greatly appreciated. It's unclear to this writer exactly what problem WPAU is encountering.
  • Terry Brown · 1 year ago
    I'd just like to say thank you for the best plugin I have ever used with wordpress.

    It is one of the most useful and easy to use piece of software I have seen and am happily recommending it to friends who use WP.

    I've had no problems when using this on two different blogs, thank you again for an excellent tool for every WP user.

  • djbaxter · 1 year ago
    This fails at trying to put the blog into maintenance mode. Yes, I've visted your forum and the "fix" you posted doesn't work.

    Why does the blog need to be in maintenance mode anyway? I'm the only author. If I'm upgrading, believe me I'm not creating new posts.

    How about an option to skip maintenance mode and just perform the upgrade?
  • Danny · 1 year ago
    Do you know why upgrading to WP 2.6.1 using Wordpress Automatic Upgrade 1.2, there's such an error shown?

    500 Server Error
    A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.

    Hi--

    I really like your plugin. It has saved me much time.

    There is one minor irritation: it never automatically upgrades itself. I cringe every time you have an update, because I know it will fail, then I will have to download, unzip, upload to my site, reactivate and check to see if everything is up to date.

    Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    :- Doug.

    i noticed that because the stast in my web are growing up and people is going directly to that url.... i dont see any problem because everything looks secured and they dont have access to any information of the db, but u should check that problem.
  • Matt Schulte · 1 year ago
    I'm having trouble with the first step of the process. When I click the link to download the backup .zip file, I get nothing. It is as if the file is not being created properly.

    I just updated the plugin to version 1.2.2, any ideas?
  • rafa · 1 year ago
    Hi again,
    I've contacted my host with the "Fatal error: exec() [function.exec]:" error...
    They've confiremd to me that my host has a protection which doesn't allow for this function to be executed.
    So i guess no way for me to use wordpress automatic update. I've looked around and found wordpress instant update. Installed it and tried it... it works flawlessly. The only thing I had to do is set file and folder permissions manually.
  • TheYoungGUy · 1 year ago
    After installing the plugin I get a message that states "Your server is running in safe mode. WPAU cannot continue in safe mode. Please ask your system administrator to change the setting to disble running in safe mode"

    What do I do?

    the wpau-backup issue

    I am working to get my WP 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 upgraded. Damn, this has been a troublesome upgrade! First, I used your plugin, it deactivated AskApache Password Protect and I can't get that one running anymore. The rest I did manually (other WP installations), but also there problems. Then when I was going through the server files with FTP, I saw that I DO have the wpau-backup folder (contrary to what I said on the WP forum). The worst thing is: no matter what I do, I can't delete or rename that folder. File permissions are read 3x, writing (owner and world!!) and execute all again. The only thing I could change were those permissions, so I simply deny everything, no reading, writing or executing for anyone.
    Still, a strange thing and in the light of the previous exploitation discussion, still not a good sign, right?

    It went through the upgrade fine, and I am told to click on a link to complete the upgrade process, then the plugin will automatically update my plugins.

    TASK OUTPUT
    Oops we cannot run the WordPress Automatic Update on your site. We are currently trying to fix issues for systems like yours and will release a new version shortly.

    That's not exactly helpful. It would be a lot more helpful if the plugin could run its own logs so that the site operator can get some clue about what "issues for systems like yours" actually are, and report back with definitive data.

    I updated to 2.6.3 today and noticed that the database backup step didn't work. Not a big issue as I just did a regular db backup, but it might cause concern for the non-technical user.

    I very much enjoyed using this upgrade plugin, and am looking forward to new plugins by you!

    With that said, 2.7 includes the Automatic Upgrade functionality in it's core, so this plugin will become unnecessary. It was very useful while I needed it, but like I said, I can't wait to see what you do next :-)

  • Richard · 1 year ago
    Using the latest version and updating from 2.5.1 The upgrade was a partial success. The stage of reactivating plugins failed to happen. Upgrade success message was presented but with all plugins deactivated. I had to manually reactivate all plugins

    Another question: does the plugin reinstall plugins with exactly the same settings? This is an important consideration as some pligin settings are lost with deactivation.

    Thanks.
  • Richard · 1 year ago
    Ok, some more feedback on the above: The problem was that I was asked to login again after the datbase upgrade. After this I was sent to an admin page that had a message 'Are you sure you want to do this?' A bit confusingas there was no precedant. What I should have done is ignore the admin page after login and returned to the original admin page. Here the next stage of reactivating plugins was still waiting for my prompt. And yes, it does keep all plugin settings, but I'm not sure how I got lost after upgrade admin login.

  • Nurul · 1 year ago
    Hi,

    I installed this plugin on my site few days back. Worked smoothly and i was able to upgrade wordpress.

    However, since today, all of a sudden, it showed fatal errors. I was unable to view my site as well access my WP admin panel.

    The error is this:
    Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/sssmcom1/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mobilemo/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/mobilemo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wordpress-automatic-upgrade.php on line 119

    Fatal error: session_start() [function.session-start]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /home/mobilemo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wordpress-automatic-upgrade.php on line 119

    I did not ever play with the codes of the plugin. To see that my data is still present, ultimately i had to delete the plugin using FTP (had no other choice).

    But, now there is another problem, i still cannot view my site or access my dashboard since my theme also uses a session_start() function.

    Pls, tell me what to do? My website is down due to this and this is certainly not good for it.

    A reply and solution will be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi Keith, what a time saver this plugin is when managing multiple blogs. Any thoughts about creating a version of the wordpress automatic upgrade plugin so people who run multiple blogs would be able to login to a primary account/server and update all their blogs from that one server even with wordpress running on other remote servers/db's? Once i update one server I know i still need to login to a lot more and upgrade them all it would be great to have control of that from one place and see the status of each servers update being shown in real time with some ajax.

    Thanks - I love this plugin but for the 2.6 upgrade, it's stopped working for me. I get the following error.

    failed to open stream: Permission denied in /../wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_upgrade.class.php on line 359 We could not complete the upgrade please try again later, click here to check the logs.

    Any tips? Thanks!

  • Kari · 1 year ago
    I wondered about the delay in Automatic Upgrade notifying me when there is a new version. It is usually several days after the new version is available before Automatic Upgrade gives me the option to upgrade. Is there anyways to 'nudge it' when I know a new release is out and it hasn't identified it yet? Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin!

    WPAU screwed up badly when I tried to upgrade from 2.6.5 to 2.7. I'm not sure yet whether this is down to WPAU yet or not, but DO make sure you back everything up prior to upgrading.

    You can upgrade it from 2.6.x to 2.7. It works.
    Moreover the Wordpress team probably added this plugin to the wordpress core, as now wordpress has this auto upgrade functionality that really look like this plugin...
    So congrats to the author.
    Nice work.

  • James Revillini · 1 year ago
    Hey Man,
    couple things:
    1. thanks for this plugin. total lifesaver! been using it since forever.
    2. just used it to upgrade a 2.3 to 2.7 - very smooth.
    3. enabled gears/turbo on the site and it had one issue which I wonder if it is related ... it could not download /path/to/site/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/media/img/flv_player.swf

    The resolution was that i had to download 2.7 from wp.org and ftp that file up myself., then it all worked. if this turns out not ot be related to your plugin, ignore.
    4. your bbPress forum is in need of some repair ... we're seeing this at the top of the page:

    [quote]
    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    SELECT * FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '3650' AND meta_key = 'bb_capabilities'

    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    INSERT INTO bb_usermeta ( user_id, meta_key, meta_value ) VALUES ( '3650', 'bb_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:6:\"member\";b:1;}' )

    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '3650'

    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    SELECT * FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '3650' AND meta_key = 'bb_capabilities'

    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    INSERT INTO bb_usermeta ( user_id, meta_key, meta_value ) VALUES ( '3650', 'bb_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:6:\"member\";b:1;}' )

    bbPress database error: [Table './bbpress/bb_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired]
    SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '3650'
    [/quote]

    it's not so bad, except when the action requires a redirect and it can't.

    ok, have a good one.

    peace,

    For some reason the plugin won't upgrade to 2.7 I am using 2.6.3 and when I try and upgrade it says I am already using the most current version. How do I solve this?
  • Rob · 12 months ago
    Stuck in maintenance mode? I've searched high and low for a resolution to this issue both here and in the forums. Although countless people have experienced this issue, the plugin author has not responded to a single request for help (at least that I can find). The only solution I know of is to replace your index.php file from a wordpress fresh install. I just grabbed a copy from another blog I own. Not sure what causes the error, and it sure would be nice if the plugin author would address/fix this problem.

    Thanks.
  • PC · 11 months ago
    Hi,

    Thanks for this awesome plugin! However, I've run into some problems due to the "Admin SSL" plugin, that encrypts the dashboard.

    When I try to finish the updating process, WPAU can't find the correct final page, and the url becomes something like an indefinite redirect. If you know what I mean?

    Can this be avoided?

    Best regards,

    I guess you do not need this plugin on WP version 2.7 anymore. It is conflicting with the upgrade core function of WP.

  • karin · 10 months ago
    today 2.7.1 of wordpress came out but WPAU wasn't responding. No yellow line telling me to upgrade, only the one of wordpress itself. Going to WPAU it told me my wordpress didn't need to upgrade. I hope this will be fixed soon, because I really love WPAU to upgrade de many blogs I help to maintain. It is really a great plugin, making the backup for you, handeling the plugins etc. The upgrade possibility in wordpress is nothing in comparising with WPAU.

    You don't need this plugin to upgrade 2.7 to 2.7.1 as the functionality is now built into WordPress.
  • EvilScienceChick · 10 months ago
    Just a tip: if you're getting pclzip errors when you try to use wordpress's automatic upgrade feature, you'll have to deactivate the WP Automatic Upgrade plugin first.
  • karin · 10 months ago
    UPgrading is now part of 2.7 but what about the extra's WPAU was offering? That's not buildin in 2.7. The backup of the files, database, deactivating en activating the plugins...
  • Blenster · 10 months ago
    Thank you for your wonderful plugin. I've used it quite happily until WP came out with their own. It hosed my theme completely and doesn't do backups. I'll probably never, ever use it again. Please keep this thing going. I vastly prefer it to their "upgrade" (which reset the blog to "like new" basically, wiping out many hours of careful PHP editing to make my CSS work).
  • Andy Ghozali · 10 months ago
    Hi Keith

    I am trying to upgrade 2.7 to 2.7.1 wordpress, using your plugin, 1.2.2
    It is not detecting 2.7.1 as an official upgrade, are you able to update your plugin? Thanks in advance!
  • Wenotice · 10 months ago
    That's correct, 2.7 does not offer the db backup, file backup, and plugin deactivation. These are the things that made WPAU such an essential and critical part of a wordpress implementation. I wish this would work with 2.7.1...
  • Marco Rodrigues · 10 months ago
    Hi! The automic upgrade is not working to upgrade wordpress for the latest version 2.7.1, it says that's already updated.

    I've version 1.2.2 of your plugin.

    "Congratulations!!! Your WordPress version is already up to date."
  • Steve · 10 months ago
    I'd like to second the requests to keep WPUA active. The backup features, deactivation/reactivation, etc., make this a much more useful tool than the built-in auto-upgrade. (Or if you don't want to maintain it any more, can you pass the code over to whoever is maintaining the built-in Wordpress auto-upgrade so they can incorporate the features?)
  • Martin · 10 months ago
    Count me in as a HUGE fan of this plugin. I'd love 2.7x support for this plugin. The 2.7 automated upgrade feature does not work for me. Yours worked like a charm! I think the WP devs should have asked for your plugin to be added to the core of 2.7 if they wanted to add an automated upgrade feature!

    Question: How do I upgrade automatically from Wordpress 2.7 to the newer versions coming out (ie: 2.7.1)?

    Answer: Upgrades are built in starting with 2.7 and up. Tools->Upgrade.

    Make sure you Create the /wp-content/upgrade directory (it was not present), set permissions to 777, then update the permissions in wp-content/plugins to 777 as well. Finally, I emptied /wp-content/cache - and plugins are now updating successfully.
  • Martin Z · 10 months ago
    I would give my first born for an upgrade to this great plug-in so it can handle 2.7. WP's built-in automatic upgrade does not, as many here can attest, work and spits out errors on the core unpack.

    Keith's plug-in worked sooooo well that I'm spoiled rotten by software that made upgrading almost enjoyable. Now, I'll be lucky to be upgrading at all since the alternative to the auto that doesn't work is to do it by hand. Yuck.

    We should all pony up to paypal and beg Keith for an upgrade to handle future WP updates. Thanks, Keith.

    I just tried to use the auto update plugin to upgrade wordpress to 2.7.1. I then get these errors and it fails.

    i have 2.2.1 manually updated twice and put it back did not work. auto update plugin did not work till i turned off the rest of the plugins then it did not work for the backups (i did that manually before so that was ok) i got a screen with the menu above and blank below.... so i got to the dl the latest wp and that also gave me a blank pane no matter how long i waited.... this plugin does not work for me .... i think the only thing now is to move the db elsewhere and set it up on a new fresh install instead of a upgrade and see if that works... if it does i can put it on the domain i need it on with fresh install instead of a upgrade.... why cant it be simple? oh and i tried this in ie7 and ff too.

    Is there anyway to specify with file it grabs from Wordpress. I need to do a downgrade back to 2.7.1 as 2.8 is hosed. If you could do that, it would be great or tell me if it is just a matter of grabbing a different Archive file. There a boat load of people that are having problems with 2.8 blowing up their site.

    I used wpau to upgrade but the wysiwyg editor was gone. The website I upgraded manually was fine. After manually overwriting the wp-includes directory the wysiwyg editor was there again. In the upgrade there is somewhere a problem with the wp-include. Everything is working on the sites I've upgraded, but after I put the wp-included manually on the server again.

    Hi, I'm Doris from The Netherlands.

    I also think this plugin is great, but... yesterday, two sites I updated lost their icons in the editor after updating, luckily we could restore this by re-installing the wpincludes directory.

    The next thing that really worries me because I can't solve it: on another site I also wanted to do the automatic update, but I was asked for ftp information.

    After I provided this, I had a huge problem: I can no longer reach the wp-admin part, it gives the message: Nothing found for Wp-admin Page Php

    I really hope someone can help met out! I'm totally clueless off what to do now?

    used WAU 1.2.5 to upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.8 on 3 different blogs and immediately had issues with the visual editor not displaying, eventually discovered that I was missing files, manually added said files and visual editor returned, so at least my problems with 2.8 directly related to incomplete install through WAU 1.2.5
