    Hi – my mailbox is being flooded with emails asking me to update to 4.2.2 (previous ones were done automatically). When trying to do the upgrade by logging into my site, I get the message box:

    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 update process may take a little while, so please be patient.

    but then it goes into an infinite loop. I’ve been reading up about this and followed all the advice, but I am still stuck.

    – when I update the $wp_db_version to synch with the value for db_version in my wp_options table (30133) then I can’t get through the logon screen anymore (no error message, it just doesn’t continue). When I change the value back to what it was (30135) I get the infinite loop again asking me to upgrade.

    Any ideas?

    Oye, this is fun.

    Can you make a second installation of WordPress 4.2.2, either in a new add-on domain or a sub-domain of the existing domain, on the same server? If so, does it have the same problem?

    Ha! Fun is one way of putting it! 😉

    Yes, that’s a good idea…. I’ll create a sub domain and install wordpress 4.2.2 there.

    Hey James – just to report back. Due to other commitments it took a bit longer but I finally managed to fix the issue. It was W3 Total Cache. I had already removed all the plugins via the WP_options table as previously reported, but the W3T folder was still there in the plugin folder (I thought I had removed that before). In any case, I deleted that folder, tried again and got an error message when trying to logon to the dashboard pointing to db.php. After removing that file and a few related ones I finally managed to logon to the dashboard again.

    Phew!

    Thanks for all your advice!
