SOLUTION: WordPress Critical Error after updating it

[Admin]

Great write-up!

With the new version of WordPress just being released and probably many people having issues when updating to it, I’ve pinned your topic to the top of the list to make it easier to find for everyone.

[allroundernaman]

Yeah you’re welcome @Admin!
Well I have written that topic separately only because I want it to be pinned and seen separate and for quick reference, rather then typing same things everywhere around.

Just a request, if please merge all the topics here to keep everything systematic.

How do you backup in sql? I can’t find how to do it.

Please refer to the below quoted message I have updated in the main topic @NFerreiro.

How to do SQL Backup? (UPDATED)

Thanks for the question @NFerreiro. Here’s what you want:

1. Log-into cPanel using Client area.
2. Navigate to PHPmyAdmin.
3. Connect to your wordpress database.
4. Go to export tab.
5. Select all the tables
6. Select “Quick” Option with Format as “SQL”.
7. Click Export. An .sql file will be downloaded and that’s your database.

You would have though a global CMS like WordPress that they would have a ‘revert’ button or system, to stop the failed update breaking the system, It’s like Windows updating, and having no internet, so crashing your computer.

Anyways… Very helpful!

[allroundernaman]

I don’t think there is any need of revert button. Because this thing happens in free hosting because of server limits

Anyways, I think my post will solve everyone’s problem. So I am marking it solved.
Should you have any questions, feel free to reply below.

SOLUTION: WordPress Critical Error after updating it

Complete Details of the problem. Don’t panic. All safe! UPDATE: Softaculous+iFastNet have updated their records, so you can update WordPress directly from there! It’s an internal WordPress Error, not related to Dashboard, plugins or themes. I observed that many people here on the forums are encountering the same error. Even if your PC is shut or not, the update will fail. Softaculous has not updated their existing WordPress records, so it shows that you are already using the latest wordpress…

One story, my experience in first time updating WordPress, it fails but without the Critical Error, so my WP still safe and just retry with manual update

Then, Is necessary to delete wordpress, and reinstall it?.. or that is not necessary and Can I only install my backup?..(I use updraftplus and I have one)

[allroundernaman]

Nope who said. I explained literally everything in my post. Kindly read it again.

[adolfs]

I also have the same problem. So I deleted my Wordpress and reinstalled it but with the same result.
Installed it with Softaculous App Installer and I updated it from my Wordpress dashboard.
So for the time being I won’t update my Wordpress until someone has solved the problem.

[allroundernaman]

Have you seen my pinned post by admin?

[adolfs]

Yes. I made the comment before I saw your post.

[allroundernaman]

Okay so it’s better to discuss everything there instead of splitting the same topic in multiple discussions.

[adolfs]

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by splitting the same topic in multiple discussion.
All I did just hit the reply button.

[allroundernaman]

Maybe a MOD will explain this to you better.

[allroundernaman]

Here’s the MOD @adolfs! Ask her.

[anon19508339]

I’m confused by splitting into multipl topics myself.

[allroundernaman]

Yeh don’t worry, its merged here, you can reply here now.
