fix: Recurring Donations 1.9.7 does not provide an update and refreshed updates don't stick

[allienimmons]

Bug Report

User Story

As a GiveWP Recurring Donations user, I want to

• see an automatic update alert on the plugins page from 1.9.6 to 1.9.7
• update the add-on to 1.9.7 and see it remain in that version when the page is refreshed

so that I'm not confused and am able to use the most up to date version of the plugin.

Current Behavior

The Recurring Donations plugin does not automatically offer an update to 1.9.7. If you refresh the license it will, but then updating it reverts back to 1.9.6 if you refresh the page or leave the page and come back to it.

Expected Behavior

For the update for Recurring to automatically show on the plugins page. And when it's updated, for it to remain that way.

Bug Type

• [ ] This bug describes functionality that once worked as expected in version X.X.X.
• [ ] This bug describes functionality that never worked as expected.
• [x] I am not sure whether this functionality ever worked as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a site with GiveWP and Recurring Donations (1.9.6)
2. Notice there is no update on the plugins page for 1.9.6
3. Go to Donations > Licenses and click Refresh All Licenses
4. Go to Dashboard > Check Again
5. Go to the Plugins page - notice there is now an alert for Recurring to be updated to 1.9.7.
6. Click update, wait for the green checkmark.
7. Refresh the page
8. Notice the plugin goes back to 1.9.6

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] e.g. Recurring 1.9.6 or any other version will show a yellow update alert on the plugins page, prompting the user to update to 1.9.7.
• [x] e.g. Once updated, the plugin does not revert to an older version.

This was a caching issue - I've cleared it and now the updates work as expected.
