 * Hello again,
 * So I had someone look this over for me and get things working. This was what 
   they had to say about my issue:
 * The update has failed, only updating the wp-includes/wp-version.php, which was
   
   reporting the wrong version of WordPress… something has gone wrong with the last
   update, either with cache or the server has had an issue installing the update.
 * Thank you so much for popping in and offering suggestions to look into!
 * Cheers,
    Michelle

 * Yep, I just tried it, it did the same thing. I briefly see these messages before
   being directed to the about page for WordPress 5.5.1:
 * Downloading update from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.5.3-no-content.zip&#8230](https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.5.3-no-content.zip&#8230);
   
   The authenticity of wordpress-5.5.3 could not be verified as no signature was
   found. Unpacking the update… Verifying the unpacked updated files… Preparing 
   to install the latest version… Enabling Maintenance mode… Copying the required
   files… Disabling Maintenance mode… Upgrading database… WordPress updated successfully.
   Welcome to WordPress 5.5.3 You will be redirected to the About WordPress screen.
 * Even after the install attempt I still see the message: WordPress 5.5.3 is available!
   Please update now.
 * Michelle

 * Sorry! Try this link: [https://michellelhofer.com/](https://michellelhofer.com/)
 * Under Updates it says this:
 * An updated version of WordPress is available.
    You can update to WordPress 5.5.3
   automatically: While your site is being updated, it will be in maintenance mode.
   As soon as your updates are complete, this mode will be deactivated.
 * Thank you for looking into this!
 * Michelle
