I understand this, Will. Unfortunately, I have very few time at the moment, and that test version was *very* unstable. I need a more stable lib for FTPing, or I need to fix the issues with the other one. I can’t take any risk here, because lots of WordPress site rely on this plugin.

Any progress on this version. I am not that technical and do not like it when I have to diagnose problems on my site. I love the concept of this plugin, but think it is best to wait for the new version which will be easier for those like me to use.

When do you anticipate it’s final release?

Thanks!

Hm, strange… Have you clicked “Test and Save” after entering the FTP credentials?

e.g. Using PureFTP and Mysql to authenticate ftp users, UID and GID check doesn’t mach the system user because it doesn’t exist.

Cool, that’s something I didn’t think about. I think I’ll insert an option to omit the UID/GID checks, as this might also fail in other cases (e.g. on Windows servers).

Using FTP method, the procedure ‘Checking if WordPress files are writable…’ inside iu.class.php fails if ftp users are not also system users!

e.g. Using PureFTP and Mysql to authenticate ftp users, UID and GID check doesn’t mach the system user because it doesn’t exist. (PureFTPd – and many others secure ftp daemons – use a single system user to manage multiple virtual ftp users).

Disabling this check InstantUpgrade works fine!
No problems with standard system users.

Tank you,
another good piece of software from you!

Oh, I should have mentioned that the translations are not yet interesting. They will be required when the 1.0 version is feature complete and no more changes in the language templates are required.

1) the ‘?’ doesn’t give any helptext

2) I get the ‘InstantUpgrade
