WP Minor Release – Database Upgrade Bug

Hi

we are facing a peculiar issue, every time wordpress releases a minor update, we cant access the wordpress admin area. we tried to find a solution online, but we could not and we are facing this issue since 6 months now, but we could not identify the solution until today.

Initially we thought that since the security vulnerability are fixed that might be the problem but, It is not due to wordpress update of minor release, or security updates. we tried various combinations but in the end realised every website with ithems has this issue.

It is only because we use ithemes security and it renames the upgrade.php file to something else for protection and wodpress gets updated but not the database, hence we are unable to access the wordpress admin area

Every minor release we might have to rename it back to upgrade.php and manually update the database and then use wordpress

It is a painful task to rename each and every upgrade.php file of every website to upgrade the database.

it is not a WordPress bug but everyone who uses this feature of ithemes security to rename upgrade.php ….. will face this.

only solution is ithemes finds a way to update the database or we stop using this feature as of now as it is a very painful task to rename everytime

Please find a solution ASAP

thanks and Regards
Andy
