3.42 upgrade problems – database upgrade

  • After viewing old topics, I still have the same issue after upgrading to 3.42, just completed the upgrade and I get the screen asking to update the database, once I click on this I get the WordPress logo and it goes no where! I have attempted to use the resolve tips I read on another post with no avail! I tried:

    1) Switching to the twentyeleven theme
    2) Renaming my plugins folder to plugins.hold
    3) Installing a fresh copy of 3.42 minus the content folder

    I even attempted the phpmyadmin edit of the plugins folder. Nothing is working to resolve this issue. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Did you try re-running the upgrade once you had completed those 3 steps?

    Yes esmi, with no luck, still the same issue.

    Do you have access to your server’s error logs? Anything in there?

    I reviewed the error logs and I am not showing any issues.

    Try turning debug on and enabling error logging.

    If it helps any, I tried using firefox and also IE, still no luck.

    I attempted all the steps once again to see if I had maybe missed something.. It still has the same issues. Nothing in the error logs either.

    What version of WordPress were you running previously? Do you have a pre-upgrade database backup?

    I was running the version previous to this one. No I do not have a pre-upgrade database backup.

    Ask your hosts if they have a backup of your site.

    No luck Esmi.. Is there some sort of rollback or repair that can be initiated?

    Well, I did a reinstall of 3.41 and it worked! minus the content folder of course. Looks like I am stuck with 3.41 for now. ?? thanks for your help Esmi, please let me know if there is anything I can do to get the update to work.

    Is there another fix coming out? 3.43? I have worked on this for hours and days and tried every different which way to fix it and it still will not update the database to 3.42 so I can access the admin menu, do you think that this issue could be for users of the software that have numerous posts? I have over 2000+ posts.. its crazy! and I know the security issues with 3.41, I got an email from my host that files were hijacked and spam emails were sent from my account using the wordpress software, I really have to get this working or move on to other software and I do not want to do that because I love the wordpress layout!
