I tried that – I’m not prompted to update the site, but if I do try to update the home site, it always times out. In the meantime I am using the workaround mentioned in the first post. Without that, I get the error which breaks the saving of changes to the site.
I will try to look into this in more detail to see if it is a shardb issue or something else.

Unfortunately the home site fails to upgrade. It always times out. Also after updating to WordPress 4.2.3, which seems to address some additional charset issues.
I’m not sure what the upgrade process would be doing in this case – perhaps it could be done manually?

Not much luck here.

Copying the wp_options table didn’t fix it.
I realised that my attempt to upgrade the network using https://someblog.com/wp-admin/network/upgrade.php?action=upgrade&n=X wasn’t catching the primary blog. Changing n to a smaller number resulted in the following error message when trying to update the primary blog in the network:

Warning! Problem updating https://someblog.com Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: Operation timed out after 120000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

I have tried various measures to remedy this. Is there anything I can do to update the home blog manually?
Thanks.

Hi,
Before I try the second suggestion (first one didn’t work unfortunately), is the idea to copy the table to global, load the dashboard and then remove the wp_options table from global after that?
I’m wary of having two copies of the same table. Could get confusing.

I ran it for the first few hundred blogs, then stopped it as it was overloading my server. I understand that each of the blogs is upgraded automatically as soon as one of their admin user visits them in any case? Perhaps I have wrong info. on that.

Hi,
Wordpress 3.9.1
The settings for your plugin are the default ones.
I was doing some digging around and the dimensions of the thumb returned from image_downsize in wp_includes/media.php are set to be 1 x 1. That’s as far as I’ve had time for so far…

Same problem here in my tests.
The thumbnail of the image in the Media Library is rendered in the html with
width="1" height="1"
so the image doesn’t display.

That’s good news ??

I’ve become aware of the same issue since moving to WordPress 3.9.1 and Akismet 3.

Do you know if the actual spam filtering is affected by the failure to verify the key?

EDIT. I’ve hardcoded the $servers array with values = true until this issue is resolved. Not good ??

I went ahead without using the vip table feature, just to get it working. I will try to run some tests using vip again if I get a chance.

On the instance where I tested it, around 24. On my live site, close to 5000.

Yup, see my first post above.

Hi,
My global table is wp_myblog_global and my vip1 table is wp_myblog_vip1.
So I have the first sixteen databases and 3 more:

wp_myblog_0
wp_myblog_1
.
.
.
wp_myblog_global
wp_myblog_home
wp_myblog_vip1

The error message shows that the wp_2_xxx tables are being searched for in wp_myblog_home, though I have set blog with id=2 to be vip1
