WordPress 2.5 Plugin Upgrade Problem and Solution

March 29, 2008 2 comments

WordPress 2.5 is out and it has some great new features: A WYSIWYG editor that (supposedly) won’t bungle your HTML code, an image gallery that is just pretty darn cool, and a super-slick automatic upgrade option for plugins.

There’s just one problem…

If you are using the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin, as I am using to upgrade WordPress, or another plugin that uses the pclziputilpathreduction() function, the automatic plugin upgrade link won’t be working for you. Instead, you’ll see an error that the pclziputilpathreduction() function cannot be redefined.

Solution…

It looks like this will be fixed in a future version. In the meantime, a workaround to the problem is to deactivate the Automatic Update plugin, click on automatic upgrade links for all your plugins, then reactive the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin.
