Why is it that the moment when you realize that you have left your keys inside is just as the door clicks shut?
arrrgh!
Fixing one bug to reveal another
I have spent the past couple of weeks trying to track down why my server was getting a bazillion hits from a few sites that had CommentLuv Premium installed and it turned out that those sites were not saving transients properly.
I came up with (I thought) was a solution.
It’s hard to know something is fixed if I cannot replicate it myself on my machines so the best I can do is suck it and see.
So, I sent it to one of them and let it run for a few days and it seemed to solve the problem.
I merged the code in to the new update which fixes a couple of other bugs and did a full release with loud announcement asking people to update to the latest version of CommentLuv Premium which, like the great users they are, did in their hundreds.
At this point the bug reared it’s ugly head.
arrrgh! (again)
This is the one and only time that I didn’t go through the laborious process of doing my test run on my local machines.
typical.
The bug
Version 3.0.1.8 of the plugin will not auto update. When you try to update you see a ‘The plugin is at the latest version’

Hi Andy.
Gee Whiz, I didn’t have any problem with the update mate, but I better go and double check that I have the right version. (like how I just called you mate?) LOL.
Someone just called me “dude” so I had to vent somehow. I’ll come back and let you know which version I’m sporting.

Thanks for the update, I was wondering about that because I didn’t see an auto update option. Glad it’s back on track.

I am at 3.0.1.8, but it is saying I have 3.0.1.8.1 available to update to. I guess this is a good thing? Anyhow, I will update to 3.0.1.8.1 and keep my fingers crossed…

Oops, spoke too soon! I was one of the ‘lucky’ 249. That will teach me to keep my plugins up to date!
Fortunately, the deactivate, uninstall, reinstall as noted above worked perfectly (as far as I can tell). All is good now!

Tough stuff… but, hey, you hung in there and fixed it. Good luck on coming up with a better solution. What fun!

I have loads of blogs (and am lazy LOL) will the problem go away with the next update, or should I really bite the bullet and work my way through the manual process?
