    When I click updates (/wp-admin/update-core.php) the page is not shown. Instead it shows /wp-admin. I tried disabling all plugins, and I manually re-updated to WordPress 5.1. Can anybody help?
    Worked correctly under WordPress 5.0. It might have been triggered by an interupted 5.1-update.

  • Hello pevista

    It is often hard to diagnose the failure due to specific configurations present on each server running the update.

    Try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. (NOTE: do not delete the wp-content directory or your wp-config.php file). Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!

    Hope this information helps.

    Thanks,

    Hi Kartiks
    I already updated manually as you describe.

    Hey pevista,

    In that case, try if the issue still persists or it may be the Permission issue which interrupted the update process.

    I tried logging in in a different browser, and the problem disappeared. Maybe it was a caching problem… Thank for helping.

    Happy to hear that problem got solved!
