Try:
– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder using FTP (or use whatever file management application your host provides)
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-running the upgrade manually.

Thanks for the help but still no joy! I’ll keep searching the forum this problem seems rather common.
I’ve just rolled back to 2.9.2 still same error.
I had the same problem yesterday evening having tried to upgrade for the first time. It doesn’t do a lot for your confidence when having never done an upgrade before and it has to be done manually, it didn’t work!!
Luckily I took a full copy of all the files and just installed 2.9.2 back and everything was fine.
Is this a major problem or just a few users?
ast9858 – Just a few users.
wildthyme – When you ran the upgrade manually, did you delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders first? Sometimes an overlay upgrade kills a file (This is common in ANY upgrade of any app, BTW)
Yes deleted the wp-admin and wp-includes folders first
Any one else got any help please?
