    Hello! I inadvertently signed up for wordpress.com when I started and transferred to www.ads-software.com this weekend. Since nothing had really been done with my site, I haven’t really lost any content, so no problem there. The problem I am having is any time I click on ANY link from my admin page, I get this:

    https://damaskraven.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F

    I can’t build a website if I can’t access dashboard, themes, plugins, etc… Help please!

    That’s a bit of a known problem if your hosting provider is running a sever-level cache, typically memcached.

    Basically, if the database is updated during a WordPress update, it’ll get stuck in a loop where the cached version still thinks it’s the old one.

    If your hosting provider offers shell access, and hopefully WP-CLI is installed, running the following in shell is the easiest way to correct it:

    wp cache flush

    More info: https://wp-cli.org/commands/cache/flush/

    I see that DreamHost is your hosting provider, so if you are using DreamPress, shell access is definitely possible, and WP-CLI is definitely installed.

    If you are using DreamPress, you’ll need to first change directories to the domain name after accessing shell:

    cd damaskraven.com

    Then, you can run:

    wp cache flush

    You’ll see a message that the cache has been flushed, and you’ll be able to access your site again.

    Otherwise, I recommend just contacting your hosting provider and asking them to flush the cache on your installation.
