3.3.2 update won't load

If you are having problems updating WordPress automatically, try to do it manually.

1. Download the latest WordPress files from here
2. Extract all the files
3. Upload all the files to the website using FTP.
4. Make sure you do not overwrite the wp-config.php file.
5. Once all files has been uploaded, navigate to https://[your_website]/wp-admin/upgrade.php.

This should solve the issue for you.

Correction you do not want to replace wp-content folder as that is where all your plugins,themes,uploads are saved.

Thanks. I’d prefer to update automatically, which I have always been able to do before.

Ideally it should always work automatically but from what you are describing, something is going wrong. Most probably some files are not being updated because of permissions or so.

So the best way forward is to go for a manual upgrade this time.
