# Cannot Start the Upgrade Process

 * After updating both WP and Soliloquy Lite, I get this message in the header of
   the Admin area: “Soliloquy Lite is now rocking v2! You need to upgrade your legacy
   v1 sliders to v2. Click here to begin the upgrade process.”
 * When I click the link, I am taken to another page with a button labeled “Click
   Here to Start the Upgrade Process”.
 * When I click that, I get this error in the JS console:
    ReferenceError: soliloquy_addons
   is not defined nonce: soliloquy_addons.upgrade_nonce
 * I’ve relentlessly googled that error, but have not come up with a solution.

   week!

 * Thank you for the reply. Is there any sort of manually hack I can use to get 
   it working in the meantime?

 * Hey [@markmtsky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmtsky/),
 * No, I’m sorry but we do not recommend and cannot provide support for any manual
   changes made to the Soliloquy plugin files.

 * Ok, I’ve updated to 2.5.0.3, and now I don’t get a javascript error, but there
   is an error with the AJAX request. It’s impossible for me to tell what is going
   wrong with the call to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 * Here is a snapshot of the info provided by firebug:

 * Hey [@markmtsky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmtsky/)
 * Can you head over to the contact form and shoot your admin details and url
    [http://soliloquywp.com/contact/](http://soliloquywp.com/contact/)
 * 500 error from admin-ajax is generally a php error happening

 * The latest update (2.5.0.4) finally fixed the issue, and my slides have been 
   updated and are working.
 * Thank you so much!
