Not an answer (can’t comment) but I had this happen with my pages recently. It turned out to be a naming conflict with a custom post type ( I used the word “order”). If you have made any CPT’s check your names if the are really common words. Here is a link to learn how … Read more
The steps are mostly from this Codex article, Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update, but in this case a prior database backup is essential. This is what I do: Upload the latest WordPress version to a temporary folder, /public_html/new-wp This upload should not contain the folder /wp-content nor the file wp-config.php. If you can, create another database and import the … Read more
Well, the first lines of that file, not counting comments/headers, are… /** Include user install customize script. */ if ( file_exists(WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/install.php’) ) require (WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/install.php’); You could include a custom install script with the rest of your code. That seems the most straightforward approach to me. It is hard to say a … Read more
From the error you posted, I suspect that there was some kind of file corruption. The original file /wp-includes/post.php shouldn’t end at line 235. The file should have 5841 lines (in WP version 4.0 and 4.0.1). If it was a file corruption and the error doesn’t appear anymore, the update probably “healed” the damage by … Read more
When WordPress shows themes/core/plugins are updated, it means they were successfully upgraded. Which means WP was able to download the zip, extract it then able to put/overwrite files into the file system. WordPress does not save plugin/theme versions as a database entry they are directly read from plugin files and theme css. Theme/plugin/core bundle are … Read more
I am not confident your guess at “being included instead” is accurate. The inclusion of core file is hardcoded in wp-settings.php pretty hard, it would be extremely challenging to subvert under normal circumstances. I have trouble imaging scenario in which functions.php of the theme will be loaded, but add_action() will be unavailable. This simply shouldn’t … Read more
Did you migrate from managed wp to unmanaged? Check this page https://ru.godaddy.com/help/move-a-managed-wordpress-site-to-an-unmanaged-wordpress-account-19798 In the site directory, locate the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory, and delete the gd-system-plugin and gd-system-plugin.php files. In the wp-config.php file, find and remove the reference to gd-config.php. The sample code below from the wp-config.php file shows the general location of the line to delete.
You network upgrade is taking too long to execute. You could mitigate the error by extending the execution time limit: Increase max_execution_time in php.ini Set max_execution_time in script to a higher number ini_set(‘max_execution_time’, 300); Temporarily add this line in index.php set_time_limit(0);
git is probably by far the fastest and easiest way to update anything assuming you use git for development. The alternative you hinted to in the question is to use the wordpress update API, but for this you will need to set up an update server. There is some code for that here https://github.com/YahnisElsts/wp-update-server. It … Read more
The name of the temporary file created by the download_url function is 118 characters long. The length of this is causing the full path name of some files or directories created during the unzip process to be longer than the allowable length on Windows. Therefore an error is thrown and the plugin upgrade fails. I … Read more
