WP 3.0 not updating

  • I attempted to run the automatic upgrade to 3.0.1 on both of my WP sites, but the upgrade stopped at the “downloading update” stage and wouldn’t continue. I tried the Memory Bump plugin, but that did not fix the problem. I should also mention that on this server I have probably 5 or 6 WP installs… some of them upgrade, and some don’t.

    Deactivate all of your plugins, then try the automatic upgrade again.

    I have same problem as fendeanson. How do I deactivate my plug-ins?

    Upgrade still does not work after deactivating plug-ins.

    helenagronberg, try installing and activating the Memory Bump plugin before initiating the upgrade. If that doesn’t work, here are four more ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

4. Talk to your host.

    If neither of those help, please start your own topic.
