When I logged into the site to download EE 4.2.8p following the notification e-mail, I noticed that their was a new calendar version. I thought that I should perhaps update that before I updated the EE version. The calendar installed and activated without any problem. However, when I went to activate EE 4.2.8p, I received this FATAL ERROR message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare espresso_duplicate_plugin_error() (previously declared in /home/itcnew/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/espresso.php:136) in /home/itcnew/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg1/espresso.php on line 140 Warning: Unknown: open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_dd0i4i3bo7ecdrcg0olrt9rmt1, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php/session) in Unknown on line 0.
The first time I tried to install, I received a message that it was already installed, but the current plugin still read 4.2.7p. I closed the site page and went back in and tried again, it installed but then upon activation, I received the Fatal Error message. The plugin page still shows EE 4.2.7p is installed.

Hi Betty,
It turns out that if you go the manual update route (instead of doing the 1-click option) you need to deactivate and delete the older version of Event Espresso before installing the new one. Please see our documentation for step by step instructions:

Thanks, Josh. For some reason, that automatic update did not show EE 4.2.8p when I looked at the plugins page for the site. I was afraid that it would update me to the old 3.XX version. Anyway, when I went into the plugins page this time, it did show that the update would be to 4.2.8p. So, perhaps I needed to logout and login again in order to see that — or refresh the page. However, the site is now showing two occurrences of the same plugin — one is activated, one is not. Do I simply “Delete” the duplicate version? It will not affect any associations to the current data?

Hi Betty,
You can delete the older deactivated copy of Event Espresso. All the data is stored in the WordPress database which is separate from the actual plugin files.
