- [x] I got the web UI to update the WP database so it seems that our script to update on launch didn't run? I need to look into that and see if it's changed or if it's not running for some reason on our system
  - the command looks fine in [deploy.sh](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1265-load-javascript-deferred) but I did get the DB upgrade thing so I need to deploy to another test site and see if I get it again then manually run commands to make it go away and see if we need an update.
