I have a message on my WP Dashboard alerting me to the need to update the database. When I click it I eventually get a message that says “You cannot update from your current version” I am running Front End PM PRO version 11.2.1.
How do I make this message go away? I suspect that there is database record somewhere from a prior version that is causing this.

Do you have previous messages? Is it ok if we remove previous messages between your users?March 15, 2020 at 11:14 pm #35297Thomas MarchisaParticipantHow do I remove those messages? What table are they in? I’m very comfortable working in the database myself . Are the previous messages in the wp_posts or wp_postmeta table? What would be the SQL criteria for identifying those old messages? I can delete them myself if I know the SQL criteria
March 15, 2020 at 11:47 pm #35300Thomas MarchisaParticipantI just looked a little closer at the database and it appears that I need to delete select rows from the wp_fep_messages, wp_fep_participants, and wp_fep_messagedata tables. Since I updated on 2/27/2020 I’m guessing that I need to delete all data from before 2/27/2020. Am I correct?
March 16, 2020 at 2:02 am #35305Shamim HasanKeymasterIf it is ok to remove previous messages between users, easiest way is to check Front End PM PRO > Settings > General > Delete data on uninstall, then uninstall and delete this plugin from admin dashboard. Then install again.
This plugin creates 4 db tables and save some options in option table. All are prefix with
fep_. You can delete those from db and it will automatically start again from the beginning. If you follow above steps then that will take care of deleting all of these.Let me know.
