Hi,
In WP dashboard, I have this message: “WP Safe Updates is not yet active. Please copy and rename the db.php.txt file from this plugin to wp-content/db.php.”
I try to copy the db.php.txt file, but cannot copy it in the same folder.
When renaming it, I got the message: “FileOp Failure on: /home1/yourind5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/db.php.txt: No such file or directory”
After copying to another folder and renaming it afterwards: same message, no way to rename it. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

I just updated the plugin and tested from a fresh install and get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in …/wp-content/plugins/wp-safe-updates/wp-safe-updates.php on line 37

Hi, nice plugin, thanks!

It usually worked on my other sites, but there’s a problem with the one I’m working on right now.

Nothing happens when I click “test update”, it simply refreshes the page. Could this be a conflict with my theme?

This plugin only appears to be useful if you want to test an updated version of a plugin. If you can make it so I can create sandbox and activate / de-activate plugins on the sandbox this would be much better and something I would pay for.
I see no other plugins that have this functionality to do this task?

Hi,
I tried your plugin, i worked ok, but when i clicked Finish testing on red bar, the plugin i was testing performed update. Everything was ok, but if something in updated plugin would not work as i would like to work, after clicking ‘finish testing’ wp safe updates would update this plugin and testing itself wouldn’t even matter. Can you advice on this matter?

Best regards

Picture or wp-safe-updates activated but not working.

Hi,
We use a custon function.php and we have the following:

define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/content' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://mydomain.co.uk/content' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/content/add-ons' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'https://mydomain.co.uk/content/add-ons' );
define( 'PLUGINDIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/content/add-ons' )

define( ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/content’ );

Could you please help us adapt your WordPress Safe Updates required configuration?
Here is what we managed so far but we are not sure able the ‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’

function currheap() {
  return isset( $_COOKIE['_alt_heap'] ) && ! empty( $_COOKIE['_alt_heap'] ) ? preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_]/', '', strtolower( $_COOKIE['_alt_heap'] ) ) : false;
}
defined( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR' ) || define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/content' );
defined( 'WP_CONTENT_URL' ) || define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://mydomain.co.uk.co.uk/content' );
if ( false !== currheap() ) {
  defined( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR' ) || define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins_tmp_' . currheap() );
  defined( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL' ) || define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', WP_CONTENT_URL . '/plugins_tmp_' . currheap() );
  defined( 'PLUGINDIR' ) || define( 'PLUGINDIR', 'wp-content/plugins_tmp_' . currheap() );
}

Thank you
Fred

Is there plans to bring compatibility to ManageWP?

Do you require the exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions, as both of those have been disabled on Synthesis hosting for security reasons.

We want to install and activate this plugin for our website.

Hi @antti, congrats with a very promising service! I use https://mainwp.com/ wp management for updating all my sites, do you have compability with systems like this, or is it on the roadmap?

I love the idea of this plugin. Is it multisite compatible?
