Database not updating

  • I have three blogs on a single WP installation. Because they are essentially the same blog but in three languages, they share the Nexcellent gallery. Rather than installing and uploading an identical gallery for each language, I have tweaked the nggallery.php to point to a single database:

    $wpdb->nggpictures = $wpdb->prefix . 'ngg_pictures';
$wpdb->nggallery = $wpdb->prefix . 'ngg_gallery';
$wpdb->nggalbum = $wpdb->prefix . 'ngg_album';

    is now

    $wpdb->nggpictures = 'wp_ngg_pictures';
$wpdb->nggallery = 'wp_ngg_gallery';
$wpdb->nggalbum = 'wp_ngg_album';

    This has worked perfectly up until this upgrade where the database is now being upgraded. My French language blog appears to have taken the upgrade route without a problem – the other two keep telling me to upgrade. When I do, the screen hangs on “Upgrading database…”
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • The database upgrade should normally not affect the ngg_* tables.

    The database upgrade is used to upgrade the settings. Are you using WordPress multisite or a custom solution (i.e. do you have the Network admin section or not)?

    I am using WordPress multisite but under Network admin there is no option to update the database – that only appears under each individual site. As I say, the one site appears to have updated without a hitch, the other two just hang on updating database…

    And is the plugin network activated or not?

    I’m just asking, because if I try it, it works fine on my test site.

    If you mean does it function across all the blogs on the site, yes. It is installed in the network admin and is usable on all the sub-sites.
