For some time now we have been wrestling with trying to find out why our WP site was automatically updating itself, but that all plug-ins failed during the last step of the update for no obvious reason.

We have spent many hours and $s on this without resolution and have had to resort to manually updating the plug-ins.

Why am I mentioning this? Because after the last round of updates a number of features on the site stopped working. Password resets, blog post notifications, etc. It turns out that the WP update process has been “lying” to us - the main wP software was no actually being updated it just said it was. As a result we appear to be in a situation where the plug-ins are for a more recent version of WP than the one we were actually running! The net appears to have been that various functions failed.

We have now manually updated the main WP software and most of the “broken” functionality is working again - not all of it and we suspect that database corruption during the mis-match period may have caused this - we’re still working on it.

So - this is just a heads up to any of you using WP that you may not be as up-to-date as you think! And that may lead to other problems later.
