Update took my sites offline

    Hello,

    I received notification of an update this morning which I allowed to install on two of my sites. They appeared to go OK – however, when I subsequently went to these sites they were down!

    The sites displayed the following error –

    Plugin remove_fields not installed yet, run the composer install command on a terminal from within the plugin directory and activate the plugin again from the plugins page.

    I immediately thought what the ‘ell does that mean run the composer install commands? I’ve never seen anything like it.

    The only thing I could do is open an ftp browser and delete the remove_fields folder which thankfully brought my sites back online.

    What happened? Surely it wasn’t intended?

    Regards

    Andy

    Hello Andy,

    Thank you for letting me know about this error, my previous commit was not made properly and some files went missing, please install the latest version and you should be fine.

    A small note though. The new plugin works with PHP 5.4 and above.

    Thanks,
    Nabil

    Awesome! Thanks.

    Similar experience: updated this plugin from 0.2 to 1.0.1 and it killed my web site (error 500).
    The web site is on PHP 5.
