Title: Upgrade script doesn’t work Last modified: June 20, 2018 --- # Upgrade script doesn’t work * [hatesspam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hatesspam/) * (@hatesspam) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-script-doesnt-work/) * I upgraded the plugin from 0.7.12 to 0.8.3. * After this, all my events had disappeared. * When I looked in the PHP log, I got the following lines: * [20-Jun-2018 12:17:29 UTC] EL_UPGRADE: Maximum script execution time: 120 seconds [ 20-Jun-2018 12:17:29 UTC] EL_UPGRADE: Added option “el_upgr_in_progress” with value “1529497049” [20-Jun-2018 12:17:29 UTC] EL_UPGRADE: Added option “el_last_upgr_version” with value “0.8.3” [20-Jun-2018 12:17:29 UTC] EL_UPGRADE: New install -> no upgrade required * I appear to have solved the problem by going into the database and change the value for the option el_last_upgr_version from “0.8.3” to “0.7.12”. My idea was to roll back the actual plug-in after, but changing the database value (and presumably clicking around a bit on the site) appeared to be enough. * I don’t what caused this. Maybe the upgrade script assumes people will upgrade to 0.8.0 first, maybe the fact that one event caused an SQL error (an encoding issue? I guess) was the culprit. * Anyway, everything seems to be in order now, but I thought you might like to know.

Can you please provide this file here for information? * Thread Starter [hatesspam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hatesspam/) * (@hatesspam) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-script-doesnt-work/#post-10421546) * The logs, both on production and on my development server, only show the successful upgrades, not the initial failed upgrade. * I have deleted some entries from the log below after visually checking that they all said ‘successfully imported’, to keep the log readable (I have 140+ events).
