Name conflict with premium version

  • I noticed some weird behavior today which I thought might be good to bring to your attention. Through the WordPress updater, the premium version of the theme prompts an update, and when the update is run, it deletes the plugin.

    This is probably due to either:

    1) The two version of this plugin (free and premium) conflicting, where WordPress is confused about which one should be updated.

    2) A name conflict with something else.

    Either way, it’s not a problem you’d be likely to see as the plugin author, but one which is annoying to an end user.

    Great job with this plugin, BTW! I really like it. I do, however, agree with the three suggestions made by another user in the thread from a week ago.

    Hi Jon,

    I realised this instantly after updating the plugin, it is as you suggest the naming that I did not consider ??

    I’ll make sure this does not happen in the future, I’m very sorry if it have caused you any troubles, that was not my intention

    Hopefully I’ll be able to push out a new version of the premium version during next month, with new awesome features

    Again I’m so glad you bought the premium plugin, and sorry about the trouble!

    Cool! Thanks for following up; I’ll watch for the update. Will that come by email, will it be on Github, or how will updates be delivered (given that the WordPress update is the one causing the issue at the moment)?
