Now where do I go to get Version 1.6.1? My site is totally down. * Plugin Author [Matthew Denton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdbitz/) * (@mdbitz) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190611) * Hi everyone, Looking at the above error message I’m not sure why the install is failing as it looks like it was not able to download one of the files in the plugin. I re-uploaded the latest file and did the auto-update on a few of my sites all without issue. * [Temlakos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/temlakos/) * (@temlakos) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190622) * The resolution: * require_once(‘pluggable.php’) * Add this line to the file wp-includes/capabilities.php. Add it directly after the initial comments and **before** the first class definition. * WordPress needs to get on this right away. How many other plugins are going to crash WordPress in just that way? This was an accident waiting to happen. * [johanhburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanhburger/) * (@johanhburger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190626) * Hi there, I have exactly the same problem. To add insult to injury, my site is down and I cannot get access to remove the plugin. Can someone give me a blow by blow process of what to do? Big please! * Thread Starter [redcocker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redcocker/) * (@redcocker) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190680) * Hi johanhburger san, * Using FTP, Delete “/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-amazon-associate/wordpress_amazon_associate. php” file * or whole “wordpress-amazon-associate” directory. * If you change plugin directory, “wordpress_amazon_associate.php” will be found in other directory. * [Yudhi Karunia Sutan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yudhi-karunia-sutan/) * (@yudhi-karunia-sutan) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190685) * I tried to restore database from my backup but didn’t help at all. Then i try to delete the plugin folder under $WP_HOME/wp-content-plugins/wordpress-amazon- associate). Now my website is possible to be access again. The update is not good.. gladly.. * [gatorbob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatorbob/) * (@gatorbob) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190696) * Yep, broke my entire site too. Took me a few minutes to figure out after I realized site was down. Geez. * [djeyewater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djeyewater/) * (@djeyewater) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190703) * I followed Temlakos advice, except rather than edit a core file I edited the plugin file and added: `require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/pluggable.php');` * [sojyujai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sojyujai/) * (@sojyujai) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190706) * Thanks djeyewater, I was about to post that Temlakos solution works if you change the line to: require_once(‘pluggable.php’); * but your method for modifying wordpress_amazon_associate.php instead of a core file seems like a better solution. * [parisvega](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parisvega/) * (@parisvega) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190719) * Awesome. Thanks guys. Problem solved after added `require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC.'/ pluggable.php');` to wordpress_amazon_associate.php * [joespake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joespake/) * (@joespake) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190742) * I uninstalled the plugin. How long will it take WP/Amazon to resolve this issue so I can download it safely again? * Plugin Author [Matthew Denton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdbitz/) * (@mdbitz) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190747) * Hi Everyone, sorry for the problems this caused. It appears that the issue is hit or miss for different users and I can’t pin down what is different for everyone’s installs. * I have just released version 1.7.1 in it I do a manual check for if the wp_get_current_user function exists and if not then the Admin Localization (logged in administrators can view site as a selected locale) will not function. * Again sorry for the issues this caused! * > Matthew * Thread Starter [redcocker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redcocker/) * (@redcocker) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190768) * Hi mdbitz san, * Thanks * When Auto-update to 1.7.1, I got no errors. * [pixelnated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelnated/) * (@pixelnated) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190825) * thanks djeyewater & mdbitz Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: WordPress-Amazon-Associate]Auto-update failure’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wordpress-amazon-associate.svg) * [WordPress-Amazon-Associate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-amazon-associate/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-amazon-associate/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-amazon-associate/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-amazon-associate/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-amazon-associate/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-amazon-associate/reviews/) * 15 replies * 12 participants * Last reply from: [pixelnated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelnated/) * Last activity: [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-amazon-associateauto-update-failure/#post-2190825) * Status: resolved
