Re: Warning for IBM i WordPress Users

Because if you are in the business of educating people on all the things that IBM i can do it would be counter-productive to host on any other platform.

And for us this _is_ a “Business Application”.

Personally I have never understood why people place their WP (or other)
homepage on their IBM I that basically is a Business Application Server.

Not sure if this will help, but I had a similar problem years ago.

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.
