# Please Update Now Loop

 * I have a number of sites on two different servers that I was trying to update
   from 4.5 to 4.5.1 this morning. On server A, when I ran automatic update, the
   update said it completed successfully but I still had the “Please update now”
   message at the top of every Admin screen, and the version shown on the Dashboard
   was still 4.5. I cleared my browser cache and it made no difference.
 * I checked /wp-includes/version.php, and the version in it was correctly showing
   4.5.1 even while I was getting the message to update. The database version apparently
   doesn’t change between 4.5 and 4.5.1, and in wp_options the db_version was 36686.
   I found that if I ran automatic updates two or three times–each reporting a successful
   update–the “please update now” message would eventually go away and the correct
   version would show up on the Dashboard.
 * I experimented with additional sites on server A, deactivating caching (WP Super
   Cache) and it made no difference.
 * On server B, the updates worked just fine, and I didn’t have the problem at all,
   so I think it’s something with server A’s configuration. Server A is running 
   PHP 5.6.20 and MariaDB on Litespeed. It had memcached running, and I found a 
   bug report saying memcached could cause update loops, so I removed memcached 
   and restarted Litespeed, but it made no difference.
 * Does anyone have any ideas of other things I might check?

 * This is still happening with the 4.5.1 to 4.5.2 upgrade. It looks like it _may_
   be something to do with caching at the browser level, but it happens with both
   Firefox and Chromium. If I flush the browser cache and click the Check Again 
   button on the updates page, it usually fixes the issue; the update prompt goes
   away and the correct version is shown on the Dashboard.
