WP won't update

First thing you can try is disabling your plugins and test your changes with another browser and / or clear your cache.

OK, now I go back and I can see the header and sidebars on the front page, but “Not Found It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?” Nothing. And no admin: “One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.” but when I repair it, it says the same.

What I feel like doing now is starting over, ie install a new version of WP, but connect to my existing database, which I know has all my pages intact. Can you help with a link to some instructions for this?

Same problem here. “Can′t make folder” “Update failed”. I′ve emptied my log and deactivated plugins.

You can check your permissions too

for backup check

It’s possible that I didn’t need to re-install. I got the same problem. My ISP pointed out that I had the wrong path in my settings, after I moved the site into a subfolder. It was an easy fix after all.

Which path?

Hi again, is there a simple way to fix my problem with updating to 4.4.2? I still get the message “Can′t make folder”, and as you would understand, I’m an amateur.. Neither do other updates succeed

In this thread the permissions and htaccess are discussed as a solution.

dimitris33, I meant the WordPress address and the site address (Settings > General).
I also had to fix Settings > Media > Store uploads in this folder.
This is because I moved the WP site into a subfolder.
