Updating WP 2.71 plugins woes
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been laboring to use the internal WP2.71 internal plugin update function.
It used to work just fine… and then, well who knows what happened.
Here’s what my great web host guys have discovered, and you may want to pay attention.
It seems that the folks writing the code for WordPress are a little clunky. They’re really trying to do the best for us (as in protecting from hackers), but they aren’t real adept at writing “universal” code.
We host several WordPress scripts on our shared server using the WHM cPanel function. That means every script is on the same IP address… and that appears to be the problem for the internal updating function.
Our web host guys have done some experimenting and made at least one of our blogs update internally. They also gave me the code to use and see if I could do it on my end.
Well, I didn’t have much time the other day, and it didn’t work as it should. Tomorrow I’ll have several hours and will do some direct comparisons. Just as quickly as I make the solution work, I’ll post it here, as well as at the WordPress.org forum.
