Database Update Loop

  • Hi I installed an update via my wordpress hosted on 123reg.

    No I receive the database update loop issue.

    Message 1:
    Database Update Required

    WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update your database to the newest version.

    The update process may take a little while, so please be patient.

    I press “Update Database” then I receive the message:

    Update Complete

    Your WordPress database has been successfully updated!

    I then click on “continue” and it takes me back to step 1 to update again.

    I’ve seen some similar threads here but I’m unsure if they are outdated and nothing I’ve tried so far works.

    I cant turn off my pluggins, so I backed them up via FTP and deleted them.

  • Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
