Hello,
Today I’ve received my daily digest and I’ve noticed that some of the plugin that I’ve tagged as “trusted” are instead “not trusted”. By checking the “Advanced Auto Updated” panel for the plugins there are some plugins with the same name marked both as trusted and not trusted. For example “Contact Form 7” is in both the “trusted list” and “untrusted list”.
My guess is that there is a plugin duplication problem. Any solutions?
Thanks.
Hey @Deco
Welcome to the MainWP community!
This can happen when the same plugin name exists under different plugin folder/file slugs on one or more child sites. MainWP tracks trusted plugins by the plugin basename, not only by the display name. So two plugins can both display as “Contact Form 7”, but internally be different entries, for example:
contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php
contact-form-7-old/wp-contact-form-7.php
In that case, one entry may be marked as Trusted and the other as Not Trusted, even though the visible plugin name looks the same.
Please check the affected child site’s wp-content/plugins directory for duplicate or renamed Contact Form 7 folders. If there is an old/duplicate folder, remove the unused copy, then sync the site again in MainWP. After the sync, the Advanced Auto Updates list should only show the valid plugin entry.
If both entries are intentional, each one would need to be trusted separately because MainWP treats them as separate plugins internally.
Hi Bojan,
Thank you very much for reaching out.
You’re correct, I had completely forgot that on that specific website I had modified some plugins folder name in order to debug some problems.
Now that all the plugin folders have their original names everything works fine.
Thank you again for your help.
