Overview
I can't update my WordPress from the admin panel=>Update (the admin panel is locked in the middle).
WordPress itself is trying to update to "WordPress 5.9".
What I tried
Stop all plugins and update WordPress.
Set the permissions of "upgrade" and "plugins" directories under the WordPress directory and wp-content to 777 or 704, and stop all plugins.
To enable debug.log, I added the following to wp-config.php and tried to update, but no debug.log appears under wp-content.
Added statement=>define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
Update with browser cache cleared
Checked PHP execution time in wp-config.php=>set_time_limit(600) and it was specified as 10 minutes, so it seems to be fine.
What I want to ask you
Even if I do all of the above things in parallel, I can't update WordPress (the process stops in the middle).
Can you tell me if there is any other reason why WordPress can't be updated? Thank you for your time.
I would just do a manual update at that point.
Download the current/or version you need and once you’ve downloaded it, extract the zip file to your computer. Then, open the folder that contains all of the WordPress files and delete the following items:
The wp-config-sample.php file.
The wp-config.php file (you might not see this file – just make sure to delete it if it’s there). The wp-content folder.
Once you’ve deleted those items, upload the remaining files/folders to your server via FTP. When prompted about duplicate files by your FTP client, tell it to overwrite all files:

I have been using wp all in one migrate to import my staging site into my local environment(XAMPP). after importing the staging, there was an issue that cause me to delete the local files for the particular site all together and start over. However now after creating a new wordpress site in my local environment and dowloading the plugin again, the plugin gives an error saying to Please make sure that storage directory C:\xampp\htdocs\website-name\wp-content\plugins\all-in-one-wp-migration\storage has read and write permissions.
I've tried the following with no success:
followed the instruction suggested by the plugin which were to
change the permissions of the file by right clicking into
"properties"... all of the users have full control.
used ls -al in git bash to confirm that my username shows as the owner of all the files.
changed the user and group name from 'daemon' to my username in httpd.conf
added define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); to wp-config.php
deleted and reinstalled the plugin as well as the entire database.
so far I keep getting the same error. I also checked other local wordpress sites I have and they all seem to have the same issue now. Any suggestions?
I'm trying to install a woocommerce plugin on my wordpress website(locally) it is giving such error 'update failed' as you can see in picture,
how to fix this?
Go to wp-content/upgrade directory and change folder permission to 777 (chmod) or in windows make sure that the read only box is uncheck.
That only means you allow that directory to read write and execute without any restrictions.
You can also solve this error by increasing the execution time.
Just go to your Xampp Control Panel, Stop Apache server, click on config (Apache), then select PHP(php.ini) option, Press Ctrl+F type "execution" and hit enter, then just increase the size of execution time from 30 to 300, save the file and then start Apache again.
It Works for Me!
see sometimes there is compatibility problem of site effects. If you can not fix, you can install another similar plugin
or
install a plugin that stop the updates of plugins ot theme according to what you want, to stop only the update of this specific plugin, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-specific-plugin-updates/
after when you fixed or come new version you restart the update procedure
An alternative that works for the installation of plugin is to upload the plugin via cPanel's File Manager or the FTP client (e.g FileZilla).
Download the WooCommerce Plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/. This will download a zipped file which can be uploaded onto the server.
After download, navigate your way to the wp-content/plugins folder on the cPanel. Upload the downloaded file, and extract the file to folder.
NOTE: remember to remove the version number from the name of the plugin after downloading e.g change woocommerce.4.0.1.zip to woocommerce.zip
It sounds like the files might have been corrupted during the update.
You’d need to access your site FILES, so that you can delete the WooCommerce plugin folder.
Locate the plugins folder, and remove the woocommerce folder from there. Once deleted, you should be able to go back to your site’s Dashboard and install the plugin again.
If you install any plugins/themes, this could be the reason for continuously fails. Add the below line of code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
Download .zip From wordpress org/plugins/woocommerce/
Hello i am not getting the Update Now button at wordpress admin.
My current worpdress version is 4.8.3
so how can i solve upgrade my wordpress 4.8.3 to latest version 4.9
you can do one thing in wordpress folder i.e. you can do all plugins deactivated after you refresh the dashboard page from backend admin side then you can get the Update Button.
Otherwise you can upgrade the version by manually,
Follow the steps,
Upgrading WordPress Core Manually
First create a full backup of your website. This is very important
in case you make a mistake.
Download the newest WordPress ZIP file from wordpress.org.
Unzip the file into a directory on your local machine or in a separate directory on your website.
Deactivate all of the plugins on your WordPress site.
Go to your website root directory and delete your ‘wp-includes’ and ‘wp-admin’ directories. You can do this via sFTP or via SSH.
Upload (or copy over) the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories from the new version of WordPress you unzipped to your website root directory to replace the directories you just deleted.
Don’t delete your wp-content directory or any of the files in that directory. Copy over the files from the wp-content directory in the new version of WordPress to your existing wp-content directory. You will overwrite any existing files with the same name. All of your other files in wp-content will remain in place.
Copy all files from the root (‘/’) directory of the new version of WordPress that you unzipped into your website root directory (or the root directory of your WordPress installation). You will overwrite any existing files and new files will also be copied across. Your wp-config.php file will not be affected because WordPress is never distributed with a wp-config.php file.
Examine the wp-config-sample.php which is distributed with WordPress to see if any new settings have been added that you may want to use or modify.
If you are upgrading manually after a failed auto-update, remove the .maintenance file from your WordPress root directory. This will remove the ‘failed update’ message from your site.
Visit your main WordPress admin page at /wp-admin/ where you may be asked to sign-in again. You may also have to upgrade your database and will be prompted if this is needed. If you can’t sign-in, try clearing your cookies.
Re-enable your plugins which you disabled earlier.
Clear your browser cache to ensure you can see all changes. If you are using a front-end cache like ‘varnish’ you should also clear that to ensure that your customers can see the newest changes on your site.
Your upgrade is now complete and you should be running the newest version of WordPress.
Hopefully, you get the solution.
I have a Wordpress site I am woking on and I now cannot get to it.

Is this normal of have I been hacked?
I've already installed the WP and it was working fine, now this.
Please help.
The WordPress welcome page appears (as #Stanimir says in his comment) when wp-config.php file is not present at the root of the WordPress install.
If you have already proceeded to the install, the file has been deleted or moved.
There's no need to do it again, you can copy wp-config-sample.php and modify it with the same db informations and table prefix.
AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, are used to insure better encryption of information stored in the user's cookies.
The four salts are recommended, but are not required, because WordPress will generate salts for you if none are provided. They are included in wp-config.php by default for inclusiveness.
Save it as wp-config.php and place it in the main WordPress folder.
You can also, verify if the file exists and its permissions, the file permissions for it is 644.
I have all my client sites on their own repos for tracking changes with svn but when I update through the Wordpress admin panel (Wordpress or plugins) the directories for them are deleted and replaced, removing the .svn files.
This then breaks my svn as I keep getting the following,
Commit failed (details follow):
Directory '/website/trunk/wp-content/plugins/plugin-dir/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing
Does anyone know a way to auto-update through the Wordpress CMS with it deleting any svn files?
This page has a procedure of setting up the process properly:
