Just tried the update on a third site without disabling any plugins this time. It again took four retries before it completely installed. In all three cases, even when it did finally complete the update, it never showed me any kind of a message saying that it had finished. It just sat there telling me that it was updating the database until I gave up waiting. When I went back to the dashboard I found out that I finally have 3.9 installed. Isn’t it supposed to tell me when it completes the update operation?

Like a real glutton for punishment, I just tried updating another site. It only took 4 retries on that one — with a different set of plugins and different theme. Plugins had to be reconfigured there too. No, I didn’t uninstall anything, just disabled the plugins.

It may be theoretically true that disabling plugins and themes “can’t” change settings, but it does on all five of the sites I manage, and always has. Virtually every time I disable a major plugin, I have to go through a reconfiguration when I re-enable it.

I guess I should volunteer to test the WP updates, because I sure seem to be able to discover problems with this one now that it’s released.

I don’t know who marked this thread as “resolved”, but it hasn’t been in my opinion. The problem still exists, even though I did manage to work around it on two sites so far. Sure would be nice if the update feature worked as advertised.

Well… yes and no. After deactivating all plugins, I still got failure messages, and had to re-initiate the update 5 times before it finally “took”. Now I have to figure out how to reconfigure all of the plugin and theme settings I lost. I know, I know… I wasn’t supposed to lose them. Tell that to my users as they experience a multitude of problems. Yeah, I know that too… never apply an update directly to the production site. I had had such good success with WordPress in the past, that I ignored the risk this time. Now I’m paying for it. Right this minute, I can’t say I think the upgrade was worth it.

Yeah, I know… It just seems curious that all previous updates have worked perfectly, and now this one doesn’t.

Perhaps I will, but what’s the point of offering an automatic install option if it won’t automatically install?

If 30MB isn’t enough, how much do I need?

I can’t find anything in any of the online information that says this plugin has a special memory requirement, so I’m completely in the dark here. It’s frustrating because I’ve never had such a problem with any other plugin.

How much should I ask for?

OK, I made both of the changes you suggested. Now I get an error message: [Apr 11 10:59:36:1397235576.467871:1:error]
