Beta Tester plugin doesnt show 3.0

The updater moves to a dashboard sub menu from a tool submenu in 3.0

The link has been updated in the plugin – which probably breaks it while installed in 2.9.2 ??

I’ve pushed an update to the readme to clarify that it has moved.

If I have time before 3.0 ships I might make it 2.9.2 back-compatible

Followed instructions in getting more memory, but the phpinfo keeps telling my 32M is max.

Also I have a zero (0) on every end of each pages in the backend of wordpress right now and a few plugins like google analytics plugin on the dashboard don’t work anymore.

I will reset my blog to 2.9.2 or even 2.8 and wait patiently on the official release of 3.0. Thanks for all of your help.

@westi, thank you for the info ??

@utregfanatic, 32M may be the max your web-host will allow. If you’re having trouble now with memory on an upgrade, I’m afraid to say that going to 3.0 with the automatic updater won’t make your life much better. Yet. WP’s working on a long term fix, but there is a known issue where WP needs 256M (I think) to do the whole download, unzip and install, which gets hinky sometimes.

The most reliable install method remains the manual one, and I promise it’s really not that hard ?? My 5-step command line process works like a champ (though ALWAYS make a backup first ?? ).

@ipstenu
So a command line update won’t cause any (memory) problem?

Do you know a good way to do that? (maybe you have a tutorial?)

It won’t because it doesn’t use the PHP memory to download and unzip.

And I posted pretty much the way I do it earlier in this very thread!

Me, I do it all via command line. Once I’ve ssh’d in:

1. $ cd ~
2. $ wget https://www.ads-software.com/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip
3. $ unzip -q wordpress-latest.zip
4. $ cp -r wordpress/* www
5. $ rm -rf wordpress*

Were do I put the command line… and what is ssh’d?

Sorry that I keep asking, but you look like someone who knows what he’s doing. ??

SSH is a secure shell connection to your server. You get an app like Putty (or if you’re on a Mac, use the built in terminal).

Your host SHOULD have some directions on how to do that (I can come up with pretty basic ones, but sometimes hosts have pretty great notes as is, with picture). As for my commands, the number is for the step to run, and the $ is called the ‘command prompt’. You don’t type it in, you just type cd ~ for example.

And I’m a ‘she’, not ‘he’ ??

@ipstenuSorry, missed that one. But now your avatar becomes clearer… ??

The Shell access was turned off. Asked if they could activate it. Keep you posted.

If you don’t have shell but you have FTP, you can still do this.

You can download WP to your desktop, expand the zip, and copy the files up via FTP ?? does the same thing, only a bit slower.
