Upgrade failed, can't get rid of "Update failed" message (6 posts)

    I tried an automatic upgrade from 3.1 to 3.1.1. It failed, as automatic upgrades tend to do (may be the last time I try that).

    Anyway, I recovered by performing a full manual upgrade. The site is working but my dashboard keeps telling me:

    An automated WordPress update has failed to complete - please attempt the update again now.

    How do I get rid of this message. Is there a file I have to delete or edit?

    Try:
    - switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    - re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.

    - re-running the upgrade manually using wp-admin/upgrade.php.

    - switched themes - no change.

    - reset plugins folder - no change.

    - I did the full manual upgrade, including replacing all files - no change.

    Did you run the manual upgrade with the plugins folder still reset and Twenty Ten active?

    Did that. No change.

    Can you try repairing your database and then re-running the upgrade?
