  • Easy way to fix it is to re-upload version 4.6 to overwrite via ftp. when the upload has finished go back to you site admin area and the older version 4.6 will back up. Next de-activate all plugins and then do the update to 4.7. When the update is complete just reactivate your plugins and it will all work fine. Had to do this on about 5 of my sites.

    That works like a charm. Thanks for saving my day.

    #geofflord thank you very much… this worked!

    In our case we’ve several problems with the plugin W3C Total cache. When deactivating W3TC the update when smoothly and fine!

    This worked for me too, thanks @geofflord

    I’ve had the same issue with W3 Total Cache. Deleting it though File Manager on my cPanel allowed the update to complete so that I could access Site Admin without having to reinstall previous WP version.

    Same here, deleting W3 Total Cache and the associated files through cPanel worked like a charm.

    Upgraded from 4.6.1 to 4.7 and got the same problem. Solved it by removing W3 Total Cache manually via FTP (including the cache and advanced-cache.php, index.php, object-cache.php, w3-total-cache-config.php and w3tc-config in /wp-content). Other posts mentioned editing .htaccess and wp-config.php but my setup didn’t have any additions by W3TC.

    I solved it differently. After updating occurred the same problem, I renamed the wp plugin’s total cache folder and returned to work. WordPress requested updating the database after this. Then I renamed the wp-total cache folder and it worked.

    Just to clarify @padilhera’s solution above. The problem does appear to be related to the W3 Total Cache plugin. I renamed the /wp-content/w3tc-config folder to /wp-content/w3tc-config-TEMP. Then, when attempting to load /wp-admin, I was prompted to perform a database upgrade because of a recent WordPress update. That completed successfully and wp-admin would now load. I renamed the w3tc-config folder back to what it originally was, and all is well!

    Almost the same as I did. nice
