Can’t install wordpress 4.7.2

    I was advised to update to 4.7.2 by one of your advisors, but I can’t. the install gets as far as unpacking the update (once) or preparing to install (twice) and then hangs. We then tried using a different computer on a different broadband system in case it’s not linux compatible or there’s a problem with the broadband but that hung as well. so it hasn’t worked four times now.

    I am trying to install the eng version on quite a large website. no error messages appear, it’s just that nothing happens. I left this overnight once to see if the problem was simply that it’s a large site – but it’s not.

    I have looked at your troubleshooting pages, but can’t find this problem there. I looked at manual install details and bounced.

    Now I’m stuck. Can you help please? I’m not massively computer literate but am doing everything I can think of! We need to able to update this.

    thanks
    Jane

    There might be some restrictions on the server level preventing it to update. You should talk about it with your server host. He can monitor what happens when its installing.

    Hi Jane,

    When you update WordPress, it doesn’t matter what computer you’re using. It doesn’t affect WordPress upgrade, everything happens on the server. So you don’t need to change computers or wait a long time. That doesn’t affect the upgrade process.

    Now, the upgrade issue might be related to your hosting. There might be something that’s causing the problem. It’s hard to say what it is, many things can cause this. Sometimes it’s necessary to do a manual upgrade, for one reason or another.

    Who is your hosting company? (BlueHost, Godaddy, Hostgator, etc.)

    Hosting.UK is the hosting company, are there known issues with this host on this upgrade>

    If you’re on their cPanel hosting plan, then everything should work on the server level.

    It’s impossible to say what causes the issue without troubleshooting the problem. The easiest option right now for you would be to upgrade WordPress manually. This would require FTP access. Instructions can be found here:
