 * I have updated my wordpress website to 4.5.1 and then I went to go log back in
   to the backend of my website and it gave me
    Database Update Required
 * WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update
   your database to the newest version.
 * The database update process may take a little while, so please be patient.
 * “Update WordPress Database”
 * I click “Update WordPress Database” and it takes 1-2 minutes then it redirects
   me to my site but a non existent page on my site. I go back to see if it updated
   the database and it just does the something over again.
 * If you want to see for your self go to xpocreations.com/wp-admin

 * this worked for me.
 * thanks.
 * 1. Open database, open wp_options table .. look for ‘db_version’.
    2. Make note
   of the number in the option_value. 3. Open your version.php file inside of the/
   wp-includes folder and find $wp_db_version. 4. keep record of the current value
   and then Update $wp_db_version with the number to match the number that you just
   found in your database.
