Title: Plugin Update not Working Last modified: March 29, 2017 --- # Plugin Update not Working * [elimariaaaa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elimariaaaa/) * (@elimariaaaa) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/) * Hello, * Your recent update with the plugin is not applying. I tried manually installing the newly downloaded compressed file but it’s still showing as ‘1 Plugin Update’. * Any ideas? * Thanks, Eli Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [JohnCleary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johncleary/) * (@johncleary) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8969412) * Hi have the same issue. 1.4.2 Update appears to install but on reloading the page it says that an update is available. * [mycbhcomwebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mycbhcomwebsites/) * (@mycbhcomwebsites) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8969805) * Ditto! * [lencw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lencw/) * (@lencw) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8969852) * Same on a number of websites * [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markyork/) * (@markyork) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8969862) * Same here. I use the plugin on 5 sites and all of them are indicating an update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 is available **after** attempting to update the plugin. * [debedete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debedete/) * (@debedete) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970362) * Same issue here. - This reply was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by [debedete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debedete/). * [Trish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trible/) * (@trible) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970408) * Pheeew! * So … I’m not alone. Others are having the very same issue. Updates but does NOT stay updated. * I thought there was something wrong with the site causing this as I have NEVER seen this behaviour in any updates for ANYTHING WordPress. * [Kingsley Felix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamkingsleyf/) * (@iamkingsleyf) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970475) * same issue here. * [rjdougan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjdougan/) * (@rjdougan) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970539) * Add one more to this list… * [ds1970](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ds1970/) * (@ds1970) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970776) * I’m having the same problem updating this plugin, but I’m also having the same problem trying to update another plugin. Wonder if there’s an issue with WordPress. * [bobsled](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobsled/) * (@bobsled) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8970824) * Nice to see that WPbeginner is reacting so quickly to their messed up plugin update. NOT!! It’s not a big deal, but one would think that WPbeginner could at least check in here and say “sorry, we’re fixing it.” * Golden rule of plugin updates. Check your support feed guys. * Plugin Author [chriscct7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chriscct7/) * (@chriscct7) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8971394) * Hi there, The issue is WordPress.org is sending sites a copy of the old plugin, and that’s why the version number isn’t going up (you’re not getting a copy of the new version). We’re working with the .org meta team and we hope to have this issue with their site resolved shortly. We’re working with the WordPress team responsible for maintenance with the site and as soon as they fix the issue on their site (it seems to be affecting a few other plugins as well), we’ll issue an update here. * -Chris * Plugin Author [chriscct7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chriscct7/) * (@chriscct7) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8971419) * Hi there, This issue with the .org website should now be resolved. If you’re still having issue, please let us know * -Chris * [Dave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deb255/) * (@deb255) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/#post-8971428) * Hello, * Apologies for the inconvenience caused. The issue has now been resolved, can you please try updating the plugin now. Please let me know if you happen to run into issues. * Thanks for your patience with this. * -Debjit * [bobsled](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobsled/) * (@bobsled) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-not-working-4/page/2/#post-8971438) * Yes, the update works now.
