Housekeeping

I just updated the preinstalled 6.1 version that I used from the beginning manually to 6.6.1

I was always wondering, why the admin backend of WordPress never showed an update being available, although I knew there was already way newer version out there. Well, to be honest, since the website ran flawlessly and everything just worked, I never gave a shit. Until I found a file in the installation folder that excluded my installation from checking for updates. Well, in that case: Thanks for nothing, Synology! I knew I shouldn’t have used proprietary hardware for this. Or not? Since it’s a configuration file, I commented out the non-update policy and waited. WordPress mentioned in its admin interface, it would auto-update to newest available version 6.6.1 (finally it found that a newer version was available) in 3 hours. My reminder went off, I checked, no update was installed. So I waited another couple of days, till I finally today found the time to download the newest version from WordPress website and followed the steps mentioned here. This was pretty easy, even though it didn’t work on first try (but on 2nd). Only, I had modified one file that has been overwritten by the update, which I luckily had a backup of that I could restore manually – and voila! Here it is: openmy.zip running on WordPress 6.6.1

I really want to give a huge shout out and a big thank you to everyone who’s participating in implementation of new features, running the code better, faster and more secure.
