 * Hi,
    I tried an automatic update of Events Manager but it was interrupted before
   it finished, so I updated manually. Ever since then the following message has
   been sitting in my Dashboard:
 * An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update
   again now.
 * There is a newer update available now but I would like to remove the message 
   first.
 * How may I do this?

 * Hi,
 * Try deleting the plugin folder manually via FTP and uploading the newest version
   see if the problem persists.
    If it does, look into the plugin documentation 
   to see if the plugin creates tables on your Database. If it does, go to yPHPMyAdmin,
   backup your database, and try to delete the plugin tables **only**. Do not delete
   anything else or else you will break your WP installation.
 * Good luck!

 * Thanks Marventus,
    I will try what you suggest after my clients evaluate the 
   site (they know its in Alpha at the moment). I had thought perhaps since the 
   message is clearly generic to WP that it might be the result of a flag that could
   simply be reset.

 * Hi,
 * Were you able to figure this out? If so, could you please mark this topic as 
   resolved?

 * Thanks I have marked this as resolved and will reraise it if I cant solve the
   problem. It will be several weeks before my clients can evaluate the site (there
   are potentially 2000 of them).
