Plugin does not update

General Issues & Bug Reporting (Fab)

Summary

When I update the last 3 versions of the plugin in the publisher page, after the process finishes, it does not really update the files in the plugin publicly, meaning, the plugin is not really updated for users.

What type of bug are you experiencing?

Happened to me a few times in the last month or so, I just keep sending them new links until it gets updated for real.

Solution here: Plugin update is not taking new files from the provided url - #5 by juaxix
just update the plugin contents by using the new button in the launcher to sync with fab.

Didn’t work for me

I feel like the solution is probably related to manuallying deleting the plugin and then re-installing? Idk that’s a guess but I have the same issue. That’s what I’ll try and get back to you.

It does not work for me too. I’m in contact with the plugin author, he says he has submitted update to fab, but it doesn’t show up in the updated plugins.
