Errors updating version 1.66 to 1.67

Hi,

Could you please complete the following steps in order to detect the problem and find its solution:

1) Activate a default WordPress theme for a while (Twenty Nineteen or Twenty-Twenty) and check if the problem remains.
2) Deactivate all of your plugins except the reCaptcha plugin, and also check if the problem is still present. If it is not, activate the plugins one by one, meanwhile checking, after which plugin activation the problem appears again.
3) Contact us back with information about the results.

Hi,
as per your indication I tried to use 2022 default theme and deactivate all plugins but it did not work

Hi,

Please, try to reinstall the plugin. Delete the current version, download, install and activate a new one.

I also want to report the same problem today after updating the plugin to version 1.67. The site works, but it is impossible to enter the admin panel – A critical error occurred on the site updating plugins. I returned to version 1.66 – no manipulation with version 1.67 (which you suggested) helped.

@andrewsupport Actually I came here today looking to see if anyone else reported something similar to this issue. I am performing regular software upgrades and when going from 1.66 to 1.67, I also see three warnings coming from this plugin.

Warning level messages make it to our logging system so we won’t be able to upgrade until this is rectified somehow.

If it helps, we don’t use any FTP facilities at all to manage our sites, they are run in Docker containers and deployed to AWS Fargate. We also have local file modification disabled in WP since we don’t actually modify the filesystem of deployed containers via the UI. I don’t believe the current usage of WP_Filesystem() is safe in all use cases, such as ours.

Edit: These warnings occurred for me just loading the WP Admin home page after upgrading.

After update 1.68 – the problem remains. I have to stay on version 1.66

I gave this a shot and tried the upgrade on our stage environment anyway. Lots of these coming in from Sentry as people click around. We’ll be stuck on 1.66 until the following code is adjusted to be safe in more environments:

		WP_Filesystem();
		if ( ! $wp_filesystem->exists( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/css/jquery-ui-styles/' . $jquery_ui_version . '/' ) ) {
			$jquery_ui_version = '1.12.1';
		}

As multiple users are running into this issue, it might be helpful to find out what configuration we have in common.
