Hi,
I have exactly the same problem as 2Singh. I upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.8.4. following the step by step instructions. At step 9 when I went to my /wp-admin to upgrade the database I got a message saying the database was up to date, but the admin panel has not been updated. It still says I have v.2.6.1 and I should upgrade to 2.8.4. I tried it all again and the same thing happened.
The only good thing is the site is working, despite being stuck with a version 2.6.1 admin panel.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Hi,
Re: Upgrading from v2.6.1 to the current version 2.8.4 without success.
I followed the extend guide religiously, it took ages to manually replace all the files by ftp.
I got to step 9: Run the WordPress upgrade program: but the admin panel looks exactly the same as it did before Step 1: it tells me I’m still running v2.6.1 and need to upgrade. It doesn’t offer me any links to run the upgrade program. I tried entering /wp-admin/upgrade.php and it tells me my database it up-to-date. But the admin panel stills says I’m running v.2.6.1 and need to upgrade to 2.8.4.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
