@kz, thanks for this, I will try this on one of my blog.

I tried adding ” s:14:”update_plugins”;b:1;” but this did not work for me.
here’s what it I have got it.

Thanks for your help in advance

ok. changing the db_version from – 11548 to 8204 did the trick. I can now see “Add New” buttons and I can upgrade the plugins, wp to the newer version.

@mkaresh, When I changed my domain name, I had to rename all the tables and the enteries within.
I can access the ADMIN dashboard with all the capabilities. The ONLY thing that I CAN’T still see is “AND NEW” under PLUGINS and APPEARANCE.
So effectively I can’t upgrade any plugins, themes or future upgrades of WP. I can ftp the themes and plugin which works perfect.

Anybody here with this problem?
Much appreciate your help.

I am having a similar problem.

Is there anybody else having a problem?

Much appreciate your help
