Plugins/Themes update is not checked in Wordpress



WordPress only checks for updates every 12 hours (This goes for Core, Plugins and Themes - All of which are separate checks).
So whilst Blog A might check at 1am/1pm, Blog B might check at 11am/11pm, So if an update is released at say, 10am, Blog B will find it first (at 11, Whilst Blog A has to wait an extra 2 hours).
The random times are completely random, If yours checked a minute before the update was released, Then you've got to wait near 12 hours.


Explanation: Scenario is explained above. Now we shall dig a bit in WordPress infrastructure and shall try to know what is happening behind the scene. There is a table called “wp_options” in your WordPress database where you can find five fields named as “option_id, blog_id, option_name, option_value, autoload”. Now use the search option on phpMyAdmin to find out _transient_update_core or update_core under “option_name” field. Now same way you can find _transient_update_plugins or update_plugins and then _transient_update_themes or update_themes. You have three rows for these three different option_name.

We found those fields because those fields only hold that cycle values. If you want to get the updates notification right now, then delete the record based on for what you are looking for. Which means, if you need latest update notification for plugins, then delete the row of update_plugins and then do the same accordingly for themes and WordPress Releases.


Fix:

Step1. Login to PHPmyAdmin of the domain

Step2. Click on the Wordpress database

Step3. Go to 'Search' option.

Step4. Select the field 'option_name' and search 'update_core'.

Step5. Delete the record.

Step6. Do same for 'update_plugins' and 'update_themes' as per your need.


Now your blog will be notified for updates on real time. At least now you can wait for 12 Hrs at max to get the notification on your dashboard or plugins page.

SVN: File remains in conflict

This error occurs when you didn't update the SVN and try to commit changes or, someone has made changes to this file that are conflicting with your changes. There are two ways to handle this situation. Either, you can revert back the changes you want to commit and then, update the SVN and after that make the changes again and commit. The other way is, you need to resolve the conflicted files one by one. You can keep all the conflicted files in a folder and resolved it at once. >> Revert the changes steps: svn revert . -R svn up >> Resolve the conflicted files: svn resolved <file_name>

HowTo: Enable extended logging for exim

When troubleshooting mail or attempting to discover the source of spam originating from your server, it is often useful to enable extended Exim logging.
