# Error updating plugin

 *  Resolved [magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/)

 * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-updating-plugin-9/)
 * Hi, I have updated the plugin to the latest version, but when I launch the database
   update procedure it gives me an unexpected error.
    I followed the steps of the
   guide on the page: [https://givewp.com/documentation/core/frequent-troubleshooting-issues/handling-database-update-issues/](https://givewp.com/documentation/core/frequent-troubleshooting-issues/handling-database-update-issues/)
   but it still doesn’t work. At the moment in the database I see the donations,
   but not the linked form and the name of the donor. My WordPress version is 5.9.5

 * Hi [@magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/),
 * Glad you reached out, let’s get a look at that error code you are seeing.
 * First, if you have the complete, detailed error code, you can go ahead and copy/
   paste that right here.
 * If you don’t see that error code on the page, you can use the Fatal Error Notify
   plugin found here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/fatal-error-notify/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fatal-error-notify/).
   You can install and activate this, and make sure the email of your choice is 
   in the email field. It will send you an email with the detailed error code that
   you can send along to me.
 * Detailed error codes contain important context that will help me get to the bottom
   of things.
 * One other very helpful piece of information will be your system information. 
   I’d like to dig a little deeper. You can send this by navigating to Donations
   > Tools > System Info (tab) and click the button to “Get System Report” and copy/
   paste that in your reply here.
 * Once I have more context, I’ll be able to hop right in. Let me know if you have
   any questions in the meantime, I’m happy to help.

 * Hi [@magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/),
 * Thanks for sending along that information, it is helpful.
 * We’ve seen one other report of this error, and like you it happened when updating,
   but it hasn’t been replicable since. I have a couple questions for you:
 * Are your logs reporting this just once?
    Are you able to replicate this error
   by following a certain set of steps?
 * In the other case the error hasn’t shown itself since updating, and everything
   continued to function as expected, so I’d like to see what type of behavior you
   are seeing on your site.
 * Is there anything specific that isn’t working that you can attribute this error
   to? If you can, I can try to replicate this on my own test site.
 * Let me know what you find, I’m happy to continue digging here!

 * Hi, thanks for your support, I’m currently on the staging site, so I’m struggling
   to test all the features.
 * First of all, the donor and the form used are no longer in the donation list
 * Furthermore, I find in the dashboard the notification “Updating database – An
   unexpected problem occurred while updating the database which caused it to stop
   automatically. Contact support.”
 * Is there any way I can provide you with the staging site login credentials so
   you can verify?
 * Thank’s
    Matteo

 * Hi [@magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/),
 * We aren’t permitted to ask for credentials here by forum rules, but not to worry,
   we can get to the bottom of things here.
 * Let’s start by getting those database updates completed.
 * 1. First, I’d recommend taking a backup of the site that you can confidently 
   restore from. Here’s an article we wrote that explains more clearly how to do
   that: [https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/](https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/)
 * 2. Next, enable Advanced Database Updates in Donations > Settings > Advanced.
 * 3. Next, run the update in Donations -> Tools -> Data. If you notice any pending
   updates, run them as well.
 * 4. Check the logs at Donations > Tools > Logs for errors. If there are any errors,
   pass those along here.
 * 5. Last, navigate back to Donations > Settings > Advanced and disable Advanced
   Database Updates.
 * We want to jumpstart those database updates so they complete. If they don’t complete,
   we’ll want to look at #3 to see if we have an error code that will give some 
   context as to why that update didn’t complete.
 * Give this a look and let me know how things go. If you have questions along the
   way, I’m happy to help.

 * Hi, I followed your steps, but in the third point I saw that there was no update
   pending yet, as you can see from these 2 screenshots:
    [http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/update-pag1.png](http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/update-pag1.png)

 * However, I checked the logs and found 2 pages of errors which I am attaching 
   below:
    [http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/log1.png](http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/log1.png)

 * If you need the details of someone in particular, let me know and I’ll copy it
   here.
 * Also in the side menu I have a notification for 2 updates which takes me to a
   database update page as I am attaching:
    [http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/menu-with-notice.png](http://www.larchebologna.it/arche_staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/menu-with-notice.png)

 * What to do now?

 * Hi [@magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/),
 * Thank you for sending along those screenshots and that information, it is helpful!
   It looks like you still have databases that aren’t updating, and those error 
   logs you sent a screenshot of will have some helpful information.
 * You can send along the detailed view of those logs by navigating to Dashboard
   > Donations > Tools > Logs. Here is a screencast you might find helpful: [https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3eD0AVFgVG](https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3eD0AVFgVG).
 * From there, you’ll see a list of things that have been happening on your site.
   I’ll need a look at one of each of those error logs you are seeing. Click the
   eyeball icon next to it to open up a detailed view. Copy/paste that error code,
   and send it along to me here. Those logs should help me see why that database
   isn’t updating like it should be.
 * Ultimately we’ll need to get to the bottom of those database updates. Once I 
   have a bit more context, we should be able to dig in! Let me know if you have
   questions about those logs, I’m happy to help.

 * Hi [@magamatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magamatt/),
 * It’s been a bit since I’ve heard back and I know sometimes folks need a little
   extra time to work through instructions. I’m marking this as resolved for now,
   but if you still have questions you can open a new ticket right here and we’ll
   be happy to hop back in.
 * Have a great day!
