 * Hey guys!
 * I am trying to update the wordpress version for a client with a year long website(
   since early 2009).
 * For some reason it did let me update the last few times but when i enter the 
   link: it tells me not enough rights
 * wp-admin/update-core.php
 * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/Ld8bzAU)
 * 
    Text reads: _Sorry, you do not have permission to access this page._
 * Anyone knows how to fix this with FTP?

 * **BACKUP FIRST!!!**
 * You can download the no-content version [https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.9.3-no-content.zip](https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.9.3-no-content.zip),
   unzip then upload & replace WordPress files via FTP

 * Did you create a full backup before performing the update?
 * Can you verify if the user has the permissions to perform an update?

 * Yes the user has admin rights:

    The current
   WP Verison is: **5.8.3**
 * [@a2hostingrj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a2hostingrj/) I didnt **do
   an update yet**, but I do have enough backups.
 * [@lcf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lcf/) I did so before and the site
   stopped working after that so I recreated a backup

 * – Use WP_Debug to get a list of errors and see if anything stands out
    – Review
   your server’s access and error log and see if anything stands out – Check if 
   the wp_user_roles row in the database has been modified

 * I still cannot figure it out, now i saw I cannot update any plugins as it says
   again no access to update_core.php
 * How do I setup we_debug [@a2hostingrj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a2hostingrj/)
   to give me an error log?
    Where do I find it in FTP access on the server the 
   error log? I do not have wp_user_roles tbl, i only have this

 * How to activate the debug mode in WordPress is described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * Another thought: check if you have enough free space on your hosting.
 * And: have a look at Tools > Site Health to see if there are any messages that
   indicate a problem.

 * The messages refer to a plugin that has been unavailable for more than 2 years
   due to a security risk: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ui/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ui/)
 * My advice would be to remove this plugin promptly (immediately!).
 * Unfortunately, I cannot judge whether this will solve your problem. If the problem
   persists, take another look at the log file after you have started an update 
   attempt.

    thank you for your 
   comment!
 * I removed the plugin, but the problem is still there with the following:

 * The 2 warnings are from the plugin fusion-builder-avada-pages. This belongs to
   the Avada theme you purchased. You could try to disable the plugin, but I can’t
   judge what consequences that would have for the site. The best way to do this
   is to contact Avada support: [https://theme-fusion.com/support/](https://theme-fusion.com/support/)

   Or you look in your region or circle of acquaintances, whether someone can look

 * Its fixed, just set these to lines in wp-config to false.
