Updating to v6.2.0 kills my site!

  • If I upgrade from version v6.1.1 to v6.2.0 my site goes into an error 500 state and is completely unreachable.

    If I replace the plugin via SFTP to v6.1.1 the site remaining un the same condition.

    If I ALSO replace the database from a backup before I updated your plugin the site remains in the same condition.

    THIS IS SOOOOOO ^#*^$ ANNOYING!!!

    Thanks to your plugin my site is completely DEAD.

    What am i supposed to do if replacing the old plugin and replacing the old database won’t return a working site?!?!?

    I found the problem.

    This update modified / corrupted my wp-config.php file.

    I noticed that after the update my wp-config.php file was listed in my FTP client as being modified today… at the same time as the update.

    Opening the wp-config.php file I found that iThemes Security had DELETED EVERYTHING in the file past line #8.

    REALLY?!?! ARE YOU !#*&% SERIOUS??!?!?!?

    Come on guys this file must be protected at all costs, it is sacrosanct.

    I replaced this one file and the site returned to working properly.

    Now I’m faced with a decision, NEVER update this plugin again OR do update and have it corrupt my wp-config.php file every time.

    I’ll be looking for an alternative to this plugin immediately.

    This may be specific to your site. Didn’t happen on any of mine.

    In general, it’s good to test important plugin updates like this one on a test site first, just in case.

    This happened on one of our sites, but not on 2 others. This is really poor and needs looking into.

    What’s the difference?
