i was experiencing the same problem! before you try the manual update try deactivating all your plugins and then update to 3.9

worked for me!

hmm i was having trouble updating to 3.9 too and it was just stuck at “Unpacking the update…”

i deactivated all my plugins and tried again… WORKS!
goodluck

Hi buzztone!

you’re exactly right! i forgot i had added [phone] in there
i took it off and it worked perfect as before

thanks so much for your help ??

hi guys so grateful of you to drop in! This is my site

i am using a wp theme “purity” which did not come with a cf7 plugin but the author’s own. he however was really nice to help me to integrate cf7 into the theme.

under style.css:

.big_form { margin-bottom:10px; }
.wpcf7,.big_form label { margin-bottom:8px; display:block; font-style:italic; font-size:11px; }
.wpcf7 textarea, .wpcf7-text { margin-top:-10px; }
.wpcf7 textarea, .wpcf7-text,.big_form input[type=text], .big_form textarea { padding:12px 12px; display:block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color:#333333; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; outline:0; font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size:11px; border:1px dotted #ddd; }
.wpcf7 textarea,.big_form textarea { height:130px; width:450px; }
.wpcf7 input,.big_form input[type=text] { width:275px; height: 38px; }
.big_form input:focus, .big_form textarea:focus { border-color:#eee; }
.big_form input.hightlight, .big_form textarea.hightlight { border:1px solid #f1f1f1; }
.form-success { display:none; }
.loading { display:none; background:url(img/loader.gif) no-repeat 1px; height:28px; width:28px; position:absolute; margin-top:-51px; margin-left:250px; }
.wpcf7 span.wpcf7-not-valid-tip { border:0px; top:-60px; color:red; }
input.wpcf7-submit { background:#0099cc;
	width: 90px;
	color:#fff;
	border: 1px dotted #f1f1f1;
	float:left;
	font-size: 11px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	border-radius: 5px;
}

input.wpcf7-submit:hover{ background:#333333;
	color:#fff;
	border:1px dotted #ddd;
}

and under cf7 settings:
message body:

From: [name] <[email]>
Phone: [phone]

and under mail:

To: <my email address>
From: [name] <[email]> <[phone]>

i’ve also checked “Use HTML content type”

the form worked before.. so i am sure it’s not my work email blocking it. i am just unsure if it occurred after or before the wp upgrade to 3.8 since i am also seeing similar posts in the support forum :/

thanks so much !!!!

hello ladober

thanks for your input, appreciate it ??
i did the update manually the last time to 3.6.1 and it works fine

just that my website has significantly more content now and i get a bit iffy moving and deleting these files and replacing them. although have always been a point to back up

was really jus looking for a stress-free solution to updating wordpress as it seems like automatic updates will never work for this site ??

would this be something to do with php/ sql
my hosting provider also cannot provide a solution

If i download 1.6.6, use ftp to replace the woocommerce folder will it work? :/
