]]>I was doing a mass plugin updating when I accidentally click a link within the page that goes to another page.
So now, The updates are gone, the remaining ones when I try to click update, it says
Plugin Update: Failed
How can I at least restore the previous ones or make this work?
]]>We’re running a site on Amazon servers with WP-SES, which appeared to be working perfectly until May 15th or 16th, 2017. The client reported no longer receiving emails from the site as expected starting May 16th, 2017. Looking in our email log (Using WP Mail Logging on the site), all emails since the one sent on 2017-05-16 11:05:11 have returned the error ‘Could not instantiate mail function.’ Prior emails worked fine.
The site was updated to WP 4.7.5 on 2017-05-16 23:17:49. Though this is *later* than the first email fail I suspect it *could* have something to do with server clock and/or timezones… so still seems the likely culprit.
More likely… it appears that someone, possibly the client or an auto-update attempt was done via bulk plugin uploader for WP SES from v0.49 to v??
Here’s the data from Simple History.
Key Value
id 70387
logger SimplePluginLogger
level info
date 2017-05-15 11:49:53
message Updated plugin “{plugin_name}” to {plugin_version} from {plugin_prev_version}
initiator wp_user
context_message_key plugin_bulk_updated
plugin_slug wp-ses
Now what’s strange:
When I got word from the client about the issue, I first noted that there was a message in the WP Admin area that ‘WP-SES has been deactivated because the plugin file does not exist.”
I ftp’d in and yes, there was no plugin – WP SES folder was there, and the log directory was there, and nothing else.
I copied the version 0.49 plugin over from the Dev site, and WP saw it, though test emails still didn’t fire.
The WP Admin Plugin area notified of update available from 0.49 to 0.70 and I tried updating. It failed. I ftp’d in and saw that all the files I’d added had been deleted except the log folder again.
I thought to try to delete WP SES entirely and replace from scratch via FTP. So I tinkered with permission levels in FileZilla, successfully changing them. Nevertheless Filezilla was unable to delete the files – permission denied.
Noting also that Simple History’s title for the update event reads “Updated plugin “” to from 0.4.9″ I would think there should be a name there? Seemingly something lost in translation.
So… needing help with this.
Thanks.

]]>All my plugins and everything else are sorted.
Then I found that for some reason I can’t access Widgets – it no longer appears under ‘Appearance’ on my dashboard. I activated a new theme to try to solve the above problem and all my widgets disappeared.
So in a nutshell, what is the trojan thing, how do I get rid of it, how do I upgrade to the new version of WordPress and where are my widgets? My site is at www.popspeaking.com

]]>A friend of mine has asked to help, and I am really hoping someone can help me.
I have logged onto his WordPress site – he is using the Expositio theme, and I understand it has never been updated (whoops), and the dashboard/control panel has no options – everything is blank.
When you click on any of the sub menus (Appearence / Pages / Plug ins etc) there is no options anymore.
I would ideally like to upgrade, reinstall up to date theme, or anything, but I can’t do any of it because there are no options.
If I have to manually edit the site can someone please help as I do not know what to do.
Thanks a million

]]>For the past week or two I’ve been unable to test new plug-ins or upgrade existing ones. I’m a Linux Newbie, and know not php. It looks to me like a permission issue, but cmoding (with an ftp client) various files and directories has not helped.
At this point it seems my installation is broken. I can’t upgrade or install manually or automatically. I don’t know if the issue is a Word Press issue or a server administration issue.
I’d simple wipe the installation and start again were it not for several moths of work writing blog entries that people keep visiting again and again regularly. How can I back up my log entries for a new installation should I need to do that?
The WordPress I’m working with was automatically installed with Fantastico.
Here’s the code my failed upgrade to a WordPress plug-in generated.
