try MANUAL re-updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
well, i followed the instructions from someone in another thread to increase the memory (before I saw your reply) and now i have messed up the wp-config.php file and get the following error after uploading the edited file:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”);’ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/v3rd1gr33n/public_html/wp-config.php on line 103
so now the site is down.
i may faint. any help out there? thanks!!
well, i deleted the offending line from the file and the site is back up. now i am back to square one.
where would my client hire someone (not me, i am a designer, not a coder) to fix this for them?
thank you!

– always make a backup of file you want to edit.
– also, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
– about “Parse error”:
When this error appears it will tell you which file the error appears in (wp-config.php for example) and approximately which line (it may not always be the exact line so be sure to check just before and just after) in the code.
‘parse error: unexpected’ usually means that you have forgotten to include a character.
Thanks Tara!
I exported all of the content before I attempted the WordPress Update, thinking I was so smart, because I am always afraid of losing something. Then the whole database update thing happened.
Luckily their site is up, but they cannot update it and I am not smart enough to help them. Go Daddy told them to contact you. They don’t even know how to log into their site. I know how to log in, push pictures around and how to create widgets…i am a genius.
So here we are, blind leading the blind. HAHA. Thanks for trying to help me. I have suggested that they hire someone better educated than myself.
