Failure after updating Plugin manually

    I manually updated wpdatatables with the new version as instructed.  I had deactivated the plugin and after updating, I reactivated, the site works, however the page using one of the wpdatatables now throws a fatal error.

    Fatal error: Class 'PHPExcel_DocumentProperties' not found in /home/ajy214/mobileyezusa.com/wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/lib/phpExcel/PHPExcel.php on line 375

    I've checked the files, it is easy to make a mistake doing this manually, and I had to break it up into sections and track the checkpoints since my connection took a long time to update files.  I kept copies of each directory in an OLD version.  I could try another install, but this seems to be targeting a creation object command.

    Hi Alan,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check Private Reply so nobody can see them except us.

    Also point me to the table ID so I can take a look.


    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi Alan,

    Can you please tell me did you follow this steps when manually updating the plugin:

    1.) Download zip from this link

    2.) Use FTP to open /yourwordpressfolder/wp-content/plugins

    3.) Delete existing wpdatatables folder.

    4.) Upload previously downloaded wpdatatables folder through FTP to plugins folder (unzip it)

    5.)  Go to WP-admin panel, open Plugins section.

    6.) Deactivate wpDataTables, and then activate it again.

    Also the auto update will be released soon so you would not need to manually update the plugin for the newest version.


    I did noticed when logged in to your site that it even can not load the main dashboard and it took a very long time for it.

    Best regards.

    Still trying to troubleshoot the re-install.  I tried a clean one and getting an error, but I don't think it all installed.  Very frustrating, I hope the auto process comes soon.  Will post here when I know more.

    Oddly, the error I got trying to access the Plugin from the WP dashboard shows a different set of errors than before.

     

    Currently, this is what I just received:

    Hi Alan,

    Can you please tell me is debugging mode turned on because it looks like it.

    Can you please turn it off because this might be the reason why this warnings are appearing.

    I checked the wp-config file.  If this is the only place, then it is off.

     * For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
     *
     * Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
     * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
     * in their development environments.

    define('WP_DEBUG'false);

    Clicking on WPDATATABLES on the dashboard gives this:

    Hey Milan,

    No problem with the time zone shift, I used to work prod support with many time zones, I understand.  I'm actually going to make a decision to stop handing out credentials.  This is not personal and hate to do it to you since you are cool in picking up for Bogdan.  My concern is that this is only been a problem trying to get the plugin installed and not the functionality.  Ergo, we will wait for the auto install as it should have been available as with all the other plugins we use.  I have done two reinstalls by hand, if something is missing, could be my fault or something else, then we don't need any investigation to keep going, we can wait for auto install or we'll get another plugin if possible.

    I'm having another issue with another plugin pro version and they too are asking for credentials and our confidence is breaking overall.  We will wait and thank you both for trying so far.  If we are missing JS files, then the ZIP file structure we were given by link is not working or the FTP faulted.  I can try again as it took two forevers to load the entire structure.

    Always open to other suggestions though.  Hope this clarifies and you understand.  We won't mark anything public on the plugin, we are only interested to get it working else we'll just quietly go elsewhere and no negative remarks.  Other than maybe to ourselves that we did not get the product for the price we paid yet.

    Hi Alan,

    We understand that.

    We assume that is some issue with FTP client. We are not sure what else can affect to some file are missing in plugin. We will try to release auto update as soon as possible. Until that we can suggest to try update plugin manually by following this steps:

    1.) Download zip from this link

    2.) Use FTP to open /yourwordpressfolder/wp-content/plugins

    3.) Delete existing wpdatatables folder.

    4.) Upload previously downloaded wpdatatables folder through FTP to plugins folder (unzip it)

    5.)  Go to WP-admin panel, open Plugins section.

    6.) Deactivate wpDataTables, and then activate it again.

    IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete the old version from WP-admin (by clicking “Delete” in the plugins page) if you don’t want to lose all your tables!

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic

    ok, thanks, I feel the same way about the cause.  I've been on the other side for many of those or worse, so I empathize and appreciate following up.  The only different step you laid down that I did not do on the two prior attempts was to upload the ZIP and then decompress it.  I had tried to upload all the decompressed files.  Hence I may have inadvertently caused a gap in the upload and some file or so is missing.

    FTP was strange, I thought the connection would die once I logged off for the night, and I left it on as well one time.  Windows will auto sleep though and not sure if the FTP is a background capable app.  When I logged in the next day on one of the attempts, it looked like the FTP was trying to load to remote server, again, not sure if it was picking up or was still going.

    My connection is not always the best with this ISP, it is variable to a great extent.  This is why auto feature (have I hammered you all with that enough - LOL) would minimize people like me to cause install issues.

    Going to give your steps a go soon and will let you know.  Thanks!!

    Success!  I decided to employ a third party FTP app, but could not FTP the file as a zip.  It was too large using the app and when using FTP or WEBFTP, it tried to install the zipped files which the folders were not yet existing so it failed.

    With the app, I could FTP over the wpdatatables folder from my unzip on the desktop, it was large of course in number of files, but it went quick without a hitch and I activated the plugin this time with success.

    Conclusion is that I cannot be sure of the FTP process using the web host and will use app like FileZilla.

    Thanks again for the patience.
