Title: Unable to update database Last modified: July 31, 2026 --- # Unable to update database * Resolved [Antipole](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antipole/) * (@antipole) * [1 week, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-update-database-2/) * UAM v2.3.16 * WP v7.0.12 * UAM asks me to update its database. I leave the _Backup_ option ticked and click on ‘Update now’. Nothing appears to happen. I get a blank window apart from some other plugin messages. * Othuerwise, UAM reports _Your UAM database seems to be in good condition_ * The request to update persists. * Advice please.
