Dashboard and Backend now Unavailable after 4.3 upgrade

    Hi

    I updated my site from 4.2.4 to 4.3, it went fine and I got the welcome screen with all it’s detailas about 4.3..

    The trouble started when I then clicked on plugins and was thrown out of the dashboard to a page that has this message

    “No Update Required

    Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!”

    my next action was to click on the continue button which brought up the sites front page, I calmly clicked on dashboard and was sent to the same page with the No Update Required” message and I repeatedly tried to get into the backend but always end up at the “No Update Required” page.

    All my public pages and blog posts work just fine https://www.washthebowl.com I’m unable to get into the backend in any way of shape..

    I did ftp in and shut down the plugin folder but that did not have any effect so I suspect it’s not a plugin.. I run a Genisis child theme on top of Genisis…

    I do notice that what ever I click on to get into the backend has some form of this url in the page I end up at
    wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F

    Any Ideas

    Thanks

    I reinstalled 4.3 using FTP and nothing changed… I rolled back to 4.2.4 and everything works fine..

    what a great experience and waste of time..

    Thanks

    Do you use CloudFlare?

    Clear your CloudFlare caches after an update.

    If you don’t use CloudFlare, do you use W3 Total Cache? Try renaming the object-cache.php file in your wp-content directory, temporarily. See if that lets you in.

    Thanks Otto

    no I don’t use crowdflare… I do use siteground supercacher and did flush the cache but nothing changed.

    I’m going to stick with 4.2.4 and wait to see if a fix pops up before I upgrade all my sites.. but I will keep your cache.php fix near by to try if I need to.

    Thanks again

    Some servers that use memcache require a manual cache flush after upgrading WordPress versions. I’ve gotten stung on this before, and this seems to resolve some cases.

    You may need to log into your hosting to do this manual memcache flush.

    Thanks LD

    I actually went in flushed it and turned memcache off and then updated and everything works fine… So now I’ll update my other sites and then turn it back on for them all..

    appreciate the tip and will file it away in my list…

    Thanks Again

    You may want to recycle the memcached service to force empty memcache. Otherwise turning it back on will get you into a DB update loop :/
