@otto42 yes it is another bug that is by theme. (Reported many times in other themes & plugins)

Simple when an error is in core, not important which line, its from plugins or theme.

(I think its better lock This conversation, the problem was found.)

@mimmin Ok! Great!
Hope it fixed soon ??

@mimmin Do you checked it with default theme?

Yes, try it. Also save Permalinks again.
You can reinstall wordpress in update center also.

Try wordpress default theme also.

+ P.S: as i saw, there is many same error that is by themes and plugins, so
try check your theme.

Please clear cache of site, sign out, clear cache of browser, login and check again.

Simplest way is by theme settings, so first check your theme setting and find “Show Drop Caps” or as it, then disable.

@t-p it is looklike in 5.3 there is no sign for update file, it is ok?

Sometime forms or wordpress or some plugins, use a newer version of js or css, then old files are cached so you will get an error, by clearing cache, your browser get new files( html,css,js) and then it work ok.

For this, devs say in major updates, simple clear cache of site, and browser cache, most of update problems are fixed by this way.

@magdigit you need to a cpanel, or any file manager access as FTP for updating, how ever if you dont have any access, simple wait or ask from your host.

Todays cpanel or ftp used in most websites.

Hope to fix it soon, if you have many users you can fix bugs in other site. ( a sub domain with same db & plugins & theme but only for your web devs not all users )

Hi @jivazquez,
1. Go to cpanel
2. Select phpMyadmin
3. Select your wordpress db, then usermeta table (looklike *_usermeta)
4. Find *_capabilities (12th in list (umeta_id 12 and user_id should be 1 if you are first admin of site) and select edit
5. Edit it, replace/add tometa_value (longtext) field this code: a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;} , save (“go” key)

Now should problem be fixed ??

Note: if you are not first user of site, mean someone else installed your wp, before stage 3 you should simple go to *_users table and find your self by username, then check the user id, now in stage 4 search for a *_capabilities that have same number in user_id with your id

For test, create a new admin user and check your main account by it, see your main account in users, should be admin not none, if is not admin fix it by new admin account.

Ok, understand!

?? I sent your report in yoast for a user with same problem to be confirmed faster, happy to fix soon.

@pherw106 go here and report(confirm bug) to yoast team:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/5-3-update-now-yoast-not-working/

You can do it with cpanel:

1. Simple copy wp-content & wp-config.php to a directory out of public_html (for example, create a folder by name “backupold” and put files in it)
2. Download latest version
https://www.ads-software.com/latest.tar.gz
3. Upload it in your wordpress directory (output file will be in public_html/wordpress for example)
4. Copy (backuped contents) “wp-content” folder & “wp-config.php” file to “wordpress” folder & replace
5. Move all files from “wordpress” folder to your site directory (by default, public_html) & replace.

Now enjoy!

Warning: do a backup before, and do as i say
