Title: 3.1.3 upgrade issues Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # 3.1.3 upgrade issues * [ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/) * (@ericr23) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/) * 1. I manually upgraded, uploading only the changed files as listed at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.1.3](http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.1.3), but the dashboard still says “You are using WordPress 3.1.2.” (I upgrade in this way because of several customized files over 5 blogs; it’s worked fine for 5 years.) * Looking at the modification dates, I found a few other newer files: * wp-admin/network.php wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php wp-includes/ms-files. php wp-includes/version.php * Updating those files (obviously, the last one most of all) now gets me “You are using WordPress 3.1.3.’ * 2. But now, there is an error with every admin page: * `Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'send_frame_options_header' was given in / home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395` * That error only arose after updating the above extra pages, although that may have been due to caches expiring, since none of those pages contains call_user_func_array, although it may well be more complicated than that. * Although admin pages show up, it appears to prevent new posts. * Where is the problem?

The problem with customizing core WordPress files (that is what you mean right?) is that many of the functions are dependent on other files/functions. * Looks like you know how to do the full backup safety net already. Have you tried just installing the 3.1.3 completely untouched on top of your installation? Are your mods really required? * [Unconformed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unconformed/) * (@unconformed) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099123) * Perhaps your blogs would benefit form child themes too * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Gl * Thread Starter [ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/) * (@ericr23) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099124) * My mods are not drastic (e.g., excerpt length to 80 words, setting 1 column as default choice for galleries, adding/editing quicktags for the editor, customizing the RSS feed). Some day I should put them all into a plugin, but I’m a dabbler and haven’t got comfortable with plugin writing yet. * When I have time, I will try a clean 3.1.3 install. (I still have to do it manually, because I use a private key for SFTP access, which seems to preclude the automatic update. * Thread Starter [ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/) * (@ericr23) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099126) * OK, I’m pleased to report that a complete clean 3.1.3 upgrade removed the problem. And everything’s still fine after I swap in all of my modified files. I must have placed some file(s) in the wrong place(s). * Thread Starter [ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/) * (@ericr23) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099127) * Thanks for taking the time to help. * Thread Starter [ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/) * (@ericr23) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099132) * One problem I see with modifying functions via plugin or theme is that I’d still have to check them with each upgrade to make sure some new functionality isn’t thwarted. So it actually seems easier to simply change a value in the function. This requires good organization, of course. * I keep a complete untouched version of the current and previous versions as well as complete versions with modified files tagged (by color in Mac OSX). With a new version, if a changed file is one that I’ve modified I compare a copy of it with my modified file (in BBedit) and apply the modification. * With major upgrades, since the files are often more drastically changed, I refer to notes of the modifications I’ve made, so I can reapply them if necessary. * [gbolger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbolger/) * (@gbolger) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/313-upgrade-issues/#post-2099221) * Is anyone having problems accessing their dashboard since upgrading to 3.1.3?

It’s a brand new blog so there was nothing on it before. I posted two articles and had it for 3 days without noticable problems, when I tried to instal social plugins this error appeared: Warning: call_user_func_array() [function. call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘send_frame_options_header’ was given in /homez.169/bloguons/www/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395 * When I delete the different plugins it remains, even if before the installation I didn’t have any error message. I tried the Hotfix technique and it didn’t work. * Should I go back to 3.1.2 also? (I just want tto be sure cause I don’t master these tools very well) Thanks!
