I have to apologize. I spoke too soon. Running the update-core.php helped, but then when I logged in, I was taken to the dashboard where I saw an error message saying the upgrade had failed.

From there, I merely had to click the “Re-install Automatically” button. From there, things went well, and I had my installation updated and running.

I feel a bit better about the upgrade as it involved a complete re-installation.

All in all, the upgrade still went pretty fast and easily, even with the glitch ??

I don’t know if I could really recommend this as a standard procedure, but since I was free to crash and rebuild my own websites, I just ripped through a couple of these upgrades fast and got stuck like this on the third upgrade, and fixing it was a piece of cake.

I just ran

https://save-marriages.com/wp-admin/update-core.php

And that took care of it. (substitute your own URL)

I could see the files for the upgrade were in my wp-content/upgrade
directory, so when I ran update-core.php, it ran like lightening and I had a login screen.

From there, I just had to follow the normal instructions you get when you do this upgrade–that is, edit wp-config.php and add the specified line for security, remove blogs.php, and edit .htaccess appropriately.

Worked great. I hope this helps and does not hurt anyone.
