I lost all mine in the update. And the directory is empty. No backup. Gosh. So how do I get all my old data back? I spent a lot of time building up my tag database.
Does the old DB table “wp_apt_tags” still exist? Did you see any errors during the update?
Yes, the table “apt_tags” is still there. So I hope I still have all my old setting and tags. I created another thread showing all my errors…there are many.
I saved the “apt_tags” table because it has all my old tags in there I can see.
Good. Did you see the confirmation message “Automatic Post Tagger has been updated to version 1.6” during the update?
Okay. It seems that the update function (“apt_update_plugin”) hasn’t been executed for some reason. Try to reload the page wp-admin/plugins.php in your browser, maybe the plugin will update itself then. Otherwise I would try to execute it manually.
Okay, I refreshed the page wp-admin/plugins.php in my browser and now get the message…”Automatic Post Tagger has been updated to version 1.6″. Everything seems to be okay and most importantly all my settings and tags are still there…whew.
One thing though, when I click to see what updates have been made “Automatic Post Tagger has been updated to version 1.6. Find out what’s new »”, it says…. Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.
And how do I turn off that message? Automatic Post Tagger has been updated to version 1.6. Find out what’s new ». It’s suck in my Dashboard.
Glad to hear that.
The message is supposed to disappear after you click the link – which apparently doesn’t work, because its security nonce is invalid. Try refreshing the page and clicking it again.
If that doesn’t help, in order to get rid of the message you’ll need to either modify the DB option “automatic_post_tagger” manually or execute the following code (e.g. somewhere at the beginning of the main APT file – try pasting it on the line 56 for example):
$apt_settings = get_option('automatic_post_tagger');
$apt_settings['apt_admin_notice_update'] = 0;
update_option('automatic_post_tagger', $apt_settings);
(Don’t forget to delete it after the annoying message disappears.)
Didn’t work on a page refresh. Had to execute the lines of code to get rid of the message. Thanks
No problem; sorry for all the hassle. I’ll make sure that the update process is less painful in the next version. 🙂
It worked fine when I just did the update on another site, so 1 out of 2 ain’t bad. Thanks
Having issues after latest update. When I scrape the database, it is leaving blanks in my keyword column. I am manually adding tags from the Post/Tag inserter. Then I go to Tagger and scrape the tags and it shows my new tag. When I add the kw related to it, it doesn’t save it. Also, when I look at some of the other tags, they are now missing their kws. It used to work great with the older version of tagger.
For some reason it is not saving my entered kws in the database. It is also deleting other kws that I have in place for certain tags.
