Upgrade ProjectManager | database

The database needs to be updated. There should be button to start this process. Simply click the button.

I did allready click the button but then it gets stuck, and this message after a while:

Gateway Time-out
The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Hope you have a answer to that.

This sounds like a connection problem from your end. Did you try clicking the button again? Maybe also from a different computer?

We have tried it sevaral times also from different computers. One in Gouda (city in Holland) and Katwijk (city in Holland)… Same problem!

That is odd. I never had such problems and also the latest upgrade worked fine on two different wordpress installations. How many datasets do you approximately have in all projects together? From what version are you trying to upgrade?

any updates?

Sorry Kolja,

Your last answer got lost in my ‘spambox’ ;-(
There where not so many datasets, yesterday I tried to up-date again but got the same error. You can see here: https://www.noordzeezomerfestival.nl/?page_id=130 how many names (with info and sometimes logo) were in the database.

The version in the plugin-page is 3.4.6

I know that is the latest version but when we want to open the plugin this messages keeps showing up:

Upgrade ProjectManager
Your database for ProjectManager is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.

The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.

Start upgrade now…

You could manually update the database version with the following code

$options = get_option( 'projectmanager' );
$options['dbversion'] = PROJECTMANAGER_DBVERSION;
update_option('projectmanager', $options);

Put these lines into functions.php, for example, and load any page.

I need to point out that I cannot tell if your database and image folder structure is correct as, for reasons I don’t understand, the upgrade stopped with a timeout.

If your database structure is not correct you should receive error messages about missing columns. Simply post any upcoming errors.

The image folder structure needs to look like the following

projects/backups
projects/captchas
projects/Project-1
projects/Project-2
…
projects/Project-N

The important folders are all the Project-X folders. The backups folder only contains media backups you can also re-create in the import/export panel. The captchas folder is also dynamically generated and contains captchas from the frontend dataset forms

GREAT!!!!

Thank you very much Kolja…
