No Upgrade menu in Dashboard

    On 4.0.1 and after upgrade to 4.1 I can’t find the following menus using an “admin” account:
    -Dashboard > Upgrade (or Update?); also when I type /wp-admin/update.php I get a blank page
    -Plugins > Add new – there is no way of adding new plugins by UI but only by unziping them in the Plugins folder
    -Updates from various plugins/themes — I cannot long see the number of new update

    What I’ve done:
    -grant “Everyone” full rights on my site (IIS)
    -when I activate “debug” I get the following message
    Notice: wp_register_style was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or login_enqueue_scripts hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in XXXXXXXXXX\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3547
    -tried to rename Plugins folder –> no result
    -installed “user-role-editor” plugin > created new role with all capabilities and added existing user in that role –> no result

    Thank you for your help

  • You might have a corrupt update and should try manually updating the site with a fresh copy of WordPress.

    I did that update from 4.0.1 to 4.1 manually (copy/paste wp-admin and wp-includes together with all the files from the main archive). The database updated without problems, the dashboard shows the new version (4.1) but I still have no Update menu

    Is there some place to look for in the database?

    Thank you,

    Check your wp-config.php and see if the following line exists:

    define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’,true);

    That constant disables updates, new plugin additions, and modifying the theme files (templates, css, etc.) through the dashboard.

    you saved my day ?? …. When I put this to “false”, I get the Update menu.

    so: define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’,false); shows the Update menu in WordPress

    Thank you
