Tell us what you are trying to do?

I created a website many years ago. Nobody ever updated it and now I've been assigned the task of updating the entire website. I got stuck when updating Toolset since they were still on 2.3.2.

I updated it in steps: 2.3.5, 3.0, 3.1 and when I got to 3.2, it gave me this error:

Oops! There's been a problem when upgrading Toolset data structures. Please make sure your current configuration allows WordPress to alter database tables.If the problem persists, please don't hesitate to contact our support with this technical information:

Duplicate column name 'autodelete_intermediary'

Can you help, please?

Hey there,

Thank you for contacting our support forum!

As a quick test, could you please check if your host applies any database level/object cache on the server? If yes, it would be a good idea to temporarily get it disabled, before proceeding with the update.

If you’re still facing the problem after this investigation, we might be facing an interaction issue with a third-party functionality, in this case:

- Deactivate all the plugins that are not related to Toolset
- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one
- If the issue is gone, activate one by one to see with which one there is an interaction issue

Please let me know if after the above procedure you can find the culprit for this error. Moreover, so that we can take a better look at this, could you please attach the Debug info?

You can see how to retrieve and paste it here: https://toolset.com/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/.

In addition to that, I'd also like your help enabling the WordPress debug mode.

To do so, please add the following code in wp-config.php file of your site:

// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
  
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
  
// Disable display of errors and warnings 
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
  
// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

Please check following links to read more about debugging with WordPress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging

After doing that please try to update Toolset once more, then check if you can find a file debug.log inside the wp-content folder. Kindly open it and send us the last lines of log here in this ticket.

Thanks, please let us know.

Hello Gabriel,

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Our Debugging Procedures

I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.

Privacy and Security Policy

We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see:
https://toolset.com/privacy-policy-and-gdpr-compliance/#data-shared-with-our-support
**IMPORTANT**

- Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link

Please, let me know if you need any additional details. Have a nice day.

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for providing the website credentials.

Upon further inspection, the issue has been fixed after these steps:

- We went to the WP Dashboard -> Updates section (hidden link)
- By selecting the Toolset plugin, and clicking on ‘Update Plugins’, it was successfully updated to the latest version (3.4.16)

Therefore, we weren’t able to reproduce the error you have reported. Most probably it was specific to the 3.2 version.

Could you please check it and confirm that the issue is solved? Thank you!
