 * After up-date to version 3.4.6 plugin gets stuck and shows this message:
    (Also
   after complete clean re-install)
 * Upgrade ProjectManager
    Your database for ProjectManager is out-of-date, and 
   must be upgraded before you can continue.
 * The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
 * Start upgrade now…

   Simply click the button.

 * I did allready click the button but then it gets stuck, and this message after
   a while:
 * Gateway Time-out
    The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream
   server or application.
 * Hope you have a answer to that.

 * This sounds like a connection problem from your end. Did you try clicking the
   button again? Maybe also from a different computer?

 * That is odd. I never had such problems and also the latest upgrade worked fine
   on two different wordpress installations. How many datasets do you approximately
   have in all projects together? From what version are you trying to upgrade?

 * Sorry Kolja,
 * Your last answer got lost in my ‘spambox’ ;-(
    There where not so many datasets,
   yesterday I tried to up-date again but got the same error. You can see here: 
   [http://www.noordzeezomerfestival.nl/?page_id=130](http://www.noordzeezomerfestival.nl/?page_id=130)
   how many names (with info and sometimes logo) were in the database.
 * The version in the plugin-page is 3.4.6

 * I know that is the latest version but when we want to open the plugin this messages
   keeps showing up:
 * Upgrade ProjectManager
    Your database for ProjectManager is out-of-date, and 
   must be upgraded before you can continue.
 * The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
 * Start upgrade now…

 * You could manually update the database version with the following code
 *     ```
       $options = get_option( 'projectmanager' );
       $options['dbversion'] = PROJECTMANAGER_DBVERSION;
       update_option('projectmanager', $options);
       ```
   
 * Put these lines into functions.php, for example, and load any page.
 * I need to point out that I cannot tell if your database and image folder structure
   is correct as, for reasons I don’t understand, the upgrade stopped with a timeout.
 * If your database structure is not correct you should receive error messages about
   missing columns. Simply post any upcoming errors.
 * The image folder structure needs to look like the following
 * >  projects/backups
   >  projects/captchas projects/Project-1 projects/Project-2 …
   > projects/Project-N
 * The important folders are all the Project-X folders. The backups folder only 
   contains media backups you can also re-create in the import/export panel. The
   captchas folder is also dynamically generated and contains captchas from the 
   frontend dataset forms
