5.8 Beta not installing

  • Selecting “Bleeding Edge” and “Beta/RC Only” shows that I should be able to update to 5.8-beta1:

    Currently your site is set to update to version 5.8-beta1, 5.8-RC1, or 5.8, whichever is released first.

    But I only end up with version 5.7.1.

    I also tried, installing an older version, then using beta tester to update – no go. I also tried installing 5.8-beta1 manually, downgraded, then tried to update back to 5.8-beta1 – not working also.

    Can you provide screenshots of the Dashboard > Updates page and the Tools > Beta Tester page?

    Here’s my Beta Tester page:

    After saving, this is what I see in Dashboard > Updates (I’m currently at WP 5.7.2):

    After clicking “Update now”, it says I’m in version 5.7.2 still. And if I head back to Dashboard > Updates, I see:

    Clicking “check again” doesn’t do anything.

    Clicking on the button that’s labelled “Re-install version –en_US” just shows a blank gray admin screen

    Can you install and activate https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/updates-api-inspector/

    From Tools > Updates API Inspector select the Core tab.

    Can you then copy/paste the Request and API Response?

    Here you go, this is after I’ve gone through and clicked the “Update now” button:

    array(
	'timeout'      => 3,

    Sorry, wasn’t able to get back to this. I’m not certain now whether it was the RC release or what, but it now works, was able to update to 5.8-RC2 using the same steps.

    Marking this as resolved for now until someone else encounters this for the next update.
