Plugin update not working

@apputvikleren Yes, deactivating the plugin to be updated appears to work.

I am also a customer of all-inkl. I am owner of a server there and run about 10 WordPress-blogs connected with different domains. Interesting: 8 of 10 updates work fine, but 2 does not. Same problem updating themes and plugins as described several times.
All installations are without any special htaccess-code about php-version, so all are PHP 5.5.22.
I have compared htaccess-files on working and non-working installations and can not see any differences.
Hmmm. -?-

Update: Using “AddHandler php56-cgi .php” (like imptonline said in post #30) update-processes work correctly.
But as described above: 8 of 10 worked with standard php-version – why do 2 need 5.6?

Even disabling the plugin prior to updating doesn’t work for me. With quite a few essential plugins showing errors after WP 4.2 update my multisite with some 30 websites will soon be in tatters if WP team are not addressing the issue with another service release.

Same issue here. Also all-inkl customer.

Deactivating the plugin worked though. Pretty annoying!

I do have the same issue on around 62 wp pages…

I will defininitifly not disable plugins update and enable plugins again on all individual pages.

Really frustrating.

Well, this is the fix for it: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/32135

So, if you really need to update your plugins due to site problems, you can just fix it yourself. It’s only one line, as you can see in the diff: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/attachment/ticket/32135/32135-1.diff

So i am Customer at all-inkl.com too. It looks like a problem there. I did not understand the mentioned solution in the posts above. Does one of the other all-Inkl.com-customers has a kind of manual?

It’s not an all-inkl.com specific problem. I have it on other hosters as well. In order to temporarily fix it, just edit the file “wp-admin/includes/file.php” with an editor and replace line 149

if ( empty( $filename ) || '.' == $filename ) {

with

if ( empty( $filename ) || '.' == $filename || '/' === $filename ) {

Thanks a mill. That did the trick.

Yup, worked for me too… had to redo after the 4.2.1 update, so that I could then do plugins and themes.

Re FTP error when trying to update WordPress or plugins in 4.2 or 4.2.1

Plugins
Deactivate the plugin and then do the update

As for updating WordPress from 4.2 to 4.2.1, I did the manual update to get around the issue

??

Adding “AddHandler php56-cgi .php” works fine for my wp installation at all-inkl.com.

This is a problem with the server. You must change your domain-setting to PHP-Version 5.3 (as CGI/FPM) and than it works without problems (default setting is 5.3 as Apache-Modul)
