WP ne-click update results in fatal error

Maximum execution time exceeded in

You may receive a message such as “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” or “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded”. This means that it is taking to longer for a process to complete and it is timing out. There are a number of ways to fix this error.
Editing .htaccess

Make sure you back up .htaccess before you edit it.

Add the following line to .htaccess:
php_value max_execution_time 60

Editing php.ini

Add the following to php.ini
max_execution_time = 60 ;

If you are unsure of how to make these changes, or if you are on shared hosting that prevents you from making them yourself, you should contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase your maximum execution time.

Hey, thanks. I’ll do what you suggest and let you know if I’ve made it.

Where in the.htacces should I put your line?

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /somename/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /somename/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

try placing after # END WordPress

It works! The update was sucessfull!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you
