Therefore the options table is left updated with the new settings and not caught by test like: // Post-install migrations. if ( get_option( ‘wpbdp-migrate-18_0-featured-pending’, false ) ) { * Plugin Author [Business Directory Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/businessdirectoryplugin/) * (@businessdirectoryplugin) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-exception-invalid-attribute-payment_items/#post-9655935) * Hi [@jonathanmoorebcsorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanmoorebcsorg/), * Sorry that you ran into issues here! * I’m not clear on a lot of things so let’s start with some basics: * Can you tell me a bit more? – What version of WP are you running here? – What exact version of BD? (number, please) – What did you do to submit the listing?( Admin side, user side?) – Who were you logged in when you submitted the listing? * We haven’t had a report of that specific issue yet, so it would help to understand how this happened first… * Thread Starter [jomo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanmoorebcsorg/) * (@jonathanmoorebcsorg) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-exception-invalid-attribute-payment_items/#post-9657281) * Hi, I set this thread to resolved myself, as it was due to my test setup, testing upgrade from 4.1.15 to 5.0.4. * I believe the issue can occur in several ways, for example: - Upgrade to BD 5.0.4 - Update test data by refreshing all tables – except wp_options - Database upgrade script is not run as the setting is still there in wp_options * This also applies when performing rollback to previous BD version and upgrading again. This is particular to the refresh method so can be ignored. Though I do highly recommend never to include wp_options in refresh scripts as it’s too dangerous – at some point there will be an oversight and the test system will accidentally email live customers / republish information from test system etc etc. Probably automatically by cron before anyone has time to do anything about it. * Plugin Author [Business Directory Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/businessdirectoryplugin/) * (@businessdirectoryplugin) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-exception-invalid-attribute-payment_items/#post-9657321) * Hi Jon, * Yes, we found a bug in 5.0.4 that did not run all upgrades and wait until they completed. This is fixed in 5.0.5, now publicly released.
