 * The 1.7.3 update just took down my site. Had to rename the plugin folder via 
   FTP.
 * For some reason the update gave me a HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error).
 * Also using your extension for Easy Digital Downloads.

 * Looking into this now. I’ve got this running on two sites live as we speak…one
   with EDD as well.
 * Give me a few to do some troubleshooting.

 * Was there anything specific you were doing to get the 500? Or just upgrading?
   What kind of hosting are you on?
 * Also, if you delete the old files and then re-install it from the Repo or manually
   do you still get the error? I’ve upgraded 3 sites now (2 on WPEngine, 1 on a 
   VPS) and they’ve all successfully upgraded.
 * Any info you can provide will help.

 * Deleted it completely then re-installed from the repo. Same thing happened.
 * It’s hosted on WPEngine.

 * Ah, I think you are hitting something I ran into on their hosting before. Delete
   it with SFTP, login to wp-admin, then use the ‘Reset File Permissions’ button
   within their plugin panel.
 * Then try and install again from Repo.
 * They have a weird bug when it comes to overwriting plugins sometimes if they’ve
   ever been uploaded via sftp.

 * To whoever else is reading it was a conflict with the EDD extension (not this
   plugin in particular). Chris debugged with me and patched both plugins immediately
   and it’s all working now.
