Updating with selective plugins function

    Hi Jeff,

    I use your great plugin, with selective plugin loading enabled. When updating automatically (through WP menu) your plugin created a white-out: both front-end and back-end were gone. O
    nly after manually moving /wp-content/plugins/plugin-organizer/lib/PluginOrganizerMU.class.php to Mu-plugins, I got my site back.

    Is there a way that an automatic update does not block the entire site, but just removes the selective plugin part until the file is manually updated as well?

    Cheers,
    Bike

    People randomly experience that. Usually when they update from a very old version. If you got a white screen there was a 500 internal server error. Can you send me what errors were generated?

    I went from 5.2 to 5.3, so that should be a normal change.

    Sorry, it has been a few days ago, can’t retrieve a 500 error for this.

    I will look into disabling the selective plugin loading during update. I’m guessing it is caused because the MU plugin gets loaded and then the options get changed but the code can’t be reloaded with the new version on that page load. Then everything gets locked up. There should be something I can hook into. I’ll leave this open for now and let you know when I have more info.

    So now I’m thinking that it is caused by the function that checks whether the right version is running or not when the page loads. The MU plugin doesn’t execute on the plugins or update pages. If you aren’t running the right version the activate function is called to update your options and get everything in place. I’m wondering if this is called on the update page which would cause it to activate multiple times. I’m going to put a check in that function so it won’t be activated again during an update. This will go out with the next release. If I don’t get any more reports of bugs this week I’ll try to get it out by the weekend.
