WordPress Multisite Troubleshooting
-
For those running WordPress in multisite mode:
The latest release of the plugin now includes support for multisite.
If you’ve attempted to install a previous version of the plugin on multisite, it’s important that you make sure it’s all cleaned up before attempting to install or upgrade to the latest.
Though a previous version of the plugin might have seemed to work in some ways, it really wasn’t compatible with multisite. One side-effect of that incompatibility is that, unless the WordPress database is cleaned up from that previous version of the plugin, it’ll be in a confusing state that will result in an error when you try to update to the latest version of the plugin, even though that new version of the plugin does support multisite. It just needs a chance to get going from a clean database situation.
Easy enough. Just make sure you’ve cleaned up first, then install the new version.
A previous installation of the plugin can usually be cleaned up by deactivating and uninstalling it. Uninstall must be done by clicking “Delete” on the deactivated plugin’s entry in the plugin list in the admin dashboard. (It’s the uninstall part that’s most important.)
It may also work to install version 4.2.0, regardless of what previous version you tried, and then uninstall it. Counter-intuitive, perhaps, but it works because the uninstall process runs the database cleanup code.
If none of that works, there’s a Font Awesome Cleanup utility plugin available as a download from the GitHub repository here. Instructions are there too.
