BUG: Recent post widget disappears following plugin update

  • WordPress version: 5.2.4
    PHP: 7.2.23
    Apache: 2.2.15 (Unix)

    We are experiencing an issue where updating the plugin causes every widget instance to disappear. We have rolled back the plugin to the version we had before the update (5.1.1) and the widgets re-appear. We have about 50 widgets set up, so re-creating following the plugin update is not really an option, though the entries are clearly not removed from the database, as they do return when we roll back the code.

    No errors come up in the logs that might provide clues here. Deactivating and re-activating makes no difference. Cache clears make no difference.

    Not sure what changed between these versions that may have caused this. I do see that the $domain variable changed, not sure if that might be having an effect somehow.

    Hello, again guys,

    After speaking to the WordPress plugin team I have decided to keep the plugin in its current state.

    The main reason for that is associated with the fact, that fixing the code, will trigger the same problem for the users using the current version.

    And given the fact the number of reports was quite low, I will stick to it.

    Is that ok? Do you need any other help?

    Sincerely,
    Rafal
