Formidable Won't Update to Newest Release 2.0.18

    I was notified on a few websites that the Formidable plugin needed to be upgraded to the most recent version, 2.0.1. However when I attempt to do this, multiple times and ways, I get the following message:

    An error occurred while updating Formidable: Download failed. Unauthorized

    I’ve been running this for some time now, years in fact and never had this issue. I use the plugin on multiple sites for my customers and behaves this way on all of them, so it doesn’t seem to be domain/site specific.

    What would be the suggested fix for this?

  • If you hurry up with an update, you can always do a manual update – uninstall plugin and upload and install the new version. You will not lose any settings or data.

    This has happened several times to me.

    We would really like to resolve any updating issues you are having. Could you post in our help desk:
    https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/
    with a little more information for us?

    We need to know the following:
    1. Are you running multi-site?
    2. Which webhost are you using?
    3. Which version are you currently running?

    1) The problem I get is using Formidable Pro on standalone sites
    2) site5
    3) I think it was up to 2.0.17

    I deleted it; downloaded 2.0.19 and reinstalled. I had the problem on 2 sites and have had the problem before. I have no idea what caused the problem.

    Ok, if you do the following, what happens?
    1. Go into formidable/formidable.php file. Change the version number on line 5 to 2.0.18.
    2. Go into formidable/classes/helpers/FrmAppHelper.php. Change the version number on line 13 to 2.0.18.

    Does an update show up? If so, what happens when you click “Update Now”?

    I don’t have the problem anymore. I deleted it; downloaded 2.0.19 and reinstalled.

    If you would like to make sure updates work well for you in the future, I would recommend taking the 2 steps mentioned in my previous post. If you decide to make those modifications, let me know what happens.

    @jamie.wahlin – I completed steps 1 & 2 as per your earlier post. The Plugin Update prompt is removed from the plugin now. I updated from 2.0.20 to 2.0.22.

    The Formidable Signature Field plugin add-on also is failing to update. Same procedure there? thx.

    Hi @roodee2,

    It sounds like you’re having a different issue. Could you create a topic in the help desk?
    https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/

    Also, could you copy and paste the message that you see when you go to the WP > Updates screen and try to update the Signature add-on?

    I would recommend that you try re-entering your license key for the Signature add-on as well (in your Formidable > Global Settings > Plugin Licenses).
