Hi,
To update from 4.7.4 to 4.8.29, I used WPEngine’s staging environment to test the update. I created a new copy of my site, then disabled EE, then deleted it, then used the WP Plugin installer to upload 4.8.29.
The EE database migration tool completed without errors, but after clicking Next following migration, I encounter this error:
Database table wp_esp_registration_payment exists when it shouldn’t, and may contain erroneous data. If you have previously restored your database from a backup that didn’t remove the old tables, then we recommend adding
define( ‘EE_DROP_BAD_TABLES’, TRUE );
to your wp-config.php file then restore to that backup again. This will clear out the invalid data from wp_esp_registration_payment. Afterwards you should undo that change from your wp-config.php file.
If you cannot edit wp-config.php, you should remove the data from wp_esp_registration_payment manually then restore to the backup again
I’m wondering if I should use these instructions on my live site, then create a copy, then test the update again?
Thanks

If I delete the table, then how will it migrate?

Hi Michael,
wp_esp_registration_payment should not actually be there. That is the issue that it is reporting.

Hey Michael, we made a mistake on the prior steps. Do not delete anything.
Please go ahead and backup your site while I get clarification between 4.7 and 4.8

Hi Lorenzo, and ideas about an upgrade path from 4.7 to 4.8? thanks

Hi Michael,
We corrected the issue last Thursday in a pending maintenance release. We don’t currently release at the end of the week so this will likely go out tomorrow.
A team member will update this support post once that version is out and at that time, you can try your original steps of pull live into staging and then updating with the maintenance release (e.g. 4.8.30).
Thanks again!

I’m waiting for the new release, 4.8.30, and will be testing the migration and update before making it live.
