Alright, well I don’t have phpMyAdmin, I just use Filezilla and Wordpad to edit the files…

So how do I switch them all to utf8?

(pardon my lack of knowledge…)

As far as I can tell they’re all the same, but how would I know for sure?

(I’m still learning WordPress, obviously) – ??

Yeah, and I can’t get out of that. Every time I attempt it just sends me back to that page after saying it’s successfully installed?

Sorry to bump, but I’m still stuck! ??

My website is: https://www.dunkology.com

I didn’t disable the plugins the first time, but did the second. Would that make a difference?

Okay, I am upgrading from 2.6.3 to 2.7 – and I am running it from my root directory (using FileZilla to manually update my files).

I didn’t know I had to use an update, so the very first time after I uploaded all the new 2.7 files, I used the install option. I’ve tried using ‘/wp-admin/upgrade.php’ not but all I get is:

“No Upgrade Required

Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!“

Once again, I’m now stuck with the loop. I tried re-uploading my files and using the upgrade.php link again but I get the same up-to-date page.

Am I screwed?…

I’m using manual upgrade – upload and edit the files myself. As far as I can tell I’ve done everything right.

I’ve entered my database information into the new 2.7 config file, is there anything else obvious I may have forgotten to do?

P.s. Thanks for the reply. ??

I’ve tried downloading back to 2.6.3 but it still keeps making me do this infinite loop of installing.

This sucks! Anyone know how to contact WordPress directly?

Anyone?… ??

Done. Same problem keeps happening. I’m stuck in this loop…

I contacted my host and they said that everything seems to be fine their end…

Thanks anyway though. ??

Brilliant! Thanks a lot!

It was step 3/4 that seemed to get it working. I followed 1/2 but the problem didn’t go, but after clearing cookies it seems to have worked out. ??
