Stuck on old version, unable to update via GUI

[Stirchley.coop]

H folks,

We have a problem where we restored two WP managed apps from a backup to a fresh domain WP managed site due to wp2shell. We found, we had to restore from before the compromise to fresh sites to avoid lingering compromise in the wp code.

• Original site foo.bar
• Restored site new.foo.bar
• Move foo.bar to old.foo.bar
• Move new.foo.bar to foo.bar

Now they won't update in the Cloudron GUI, either automatically or by hitting the "Check for updates" button.

We are stuck on WordPress (Managed) 7.0 org.wordpress.cloudronapp@4.0.0

Any ideas? The only thing I can think to do is to restore using wp plug-ins to a new site which is already updated.

This is all I can find on the forum:

Hello @stirchley.coop
Apologies that you are experiencing this issue.
This happened because we did release a @wordpress-managed with version 4.0.0 which was the wrong version number.

To resolve this issue you need to run a command with the cloudron cli

cloudron update --app $YOUR_LOCATION_OR_APPID --appstore-id org.wordpress.cloudronapp@3.17.0 --force

After that is finished, your app will get updated again.

@james I think that's meant to be --app?

Also it wasn't just the managed app that was affected, all of my WordPress Developer apps were effected too.

I'm now running this to restart my stopped WordPress sites and then force update them:

for a in $(cloudron list | awk '$5=="stopped" && $3=="org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp@4.0.0" {print $1}'); do cloudron start --app "$a" && cloudron update --app "$a" --appstore-id org.wordpress.unmanaged.cloudronapp@3.17.0 --force; done

I fixed that post to be --app. I will put a patch in 10.1.6 for good measure to force update that package for users who don't visit the forum.
