WordPress 3.8.1 Update FAILURE

  • The automatic update is a big problem. My dashboard keeps breaking. It appears quite small with that square broken character appearing on the right. I log out and log back in and it appears okay, but it just keeps happening over and over. The update does not look any different, if it even updated. A huge problem! How do I get help? I have tried to comment here twice and it keeps blocking me like I did not sign in or make a comment.

  • I am also haveing this problem, The following is displayed:

    Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8.1-new-bundled.zip…

Unpacking the update…

    but no more.

    I aam running version 3.5.1

    This happened to me too,
    but I’m afraid you had to install it manually.
    That’s the ONLY solution.

    I’m already running version 3.8.1

    oh wait, I have version 3.8.1 already xD

    I am running Wp 3.8 and upgraded to 3.8.1 from the dashboard without any problem. Take a backup of your database and files. Especially, keep the wp-config.php file. If you have ftp or cPanel access I would recommend this

    trick that may help in some instances.

    If you keep all plugins and themes on the web server and delete the rest and install the last version is fairly drastic, but my experience is that that always solves the problem. The database connection is kept in wp-config.php.

    If you can try it on another server, that is always most secure.
