Howdy, James.

That initially failed, but I’ve tried again with a deletion of the folder for the plugin over FTP (rather than through WordPress) and re-installed it by uploading the .zip file. Seems to be working again now.
Sorry about that.

Seems to be working again for me. Thanks!

Same deal here.

This is through the automatic updater, not FTP.

Thanks! I’ll see what I can get out of that then.

I updated WordPress by hand yesterday and all went well. In addition, I had a plugin that had an update today so I tried the auto-update one last time for kicks, and it worked! It appears 2.7.1 had a bug fix I needed.

Hmm alright. I’ll give my host til the end of the week to find a solution. I guess I’ll just be stuck updating by hand again if they can’t.

As for Zumu not being on the list, I’m not surprised. They typically host sites for schools. In any case, I checked out the wp-config file and noticed only one of the secret keys had been filled in the “SECRET_KEY” part. Could that be a problem?
This is what the file looks like right not (with the private stuff removed of course):
<?php
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘<removed>’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘<removed>’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘<removed>’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘<removed>’);

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
define(‘WPLANG’, ”);

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);

?>

I noticed when I downloaded WP by hand, the wp-config file has more lines prompting for a key below “SECRET_KEY”. Do I need to have those in there?

“Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.”

That all the information it gives.

I assume when you say to check for correct values in the wp-config.php file to check the database details and make sure they are correct? Also, what should the file ownerships be? I can override most anything by hand through FTP and believe most of the files are chmod 777 or 766.

My host for the wordpress site in question is Zumu. The domain is falconaire.monmouthregional.net or wordpress.monmouthregional.net (both go to the same place).

Found what I needed, thanks.

I’ve had it wipe my blog too. Thought it was a database problem but nope. Simple as a bad plugin.
