    I am currently using WordPress version 4.5.2 on
    https://www.angelabchrysler.com/

    I am unable to update to the newest version 4.5.3 because I get this message “Another update is currently in progress.” This message is incorrect. No other updates are taking place. I have tried updating now since the 4.5.3 edition came out. The theme I just bought must have 4.5.3 installed, but the site is not updating. Please advise.

    Apparently, I need to “clear my old database tables first.” I have no idea what this means or where to go. Would you be able to provide a link that will clarify and direct me please?

    Thank you ??

    Assuming that the lock doesn’t clear itself, what that post suggests is that you use a tool like phpmyadmin to access the wp_options table and look for a row with the key “core_updater.lock” and remove that row.

    In another thread, you mentioned that you use GoDaddy, so you can access phpmyadmin from your GoDaddy hosting control panel.

    Or you can perform a manual update.

    You would need access to your MySQL database via your web host (GoDaddy, based on your other posts). For the inexperienced, this can be very dangerous and could possibly break your site. It would be better if you were to contact GoDaddy and see if they could do the steps listed in the StackExchange article above.

    Thank you both very much for your time. ?? And yes, I use GoDaddy and am inexperienced. I’ll reach out to the host for assistance at this time. Thank you ??
