Hello everyone.. Try this method.. hope it helps..
for safe update/upgrade..
backup your database first..
then backup wp-content folder, wp-config.php and .htacces file..
now you can copy all content of the new/updated/fresh wordpress files&folder..
and replace all the content of your old wordpress files..
so for example:
if your current wordpress files are inside “mysite” folder
..root/public_html/mysite/(copy in here)
next copy : wp-content folder, wp-config.php and .htaccess that you just backedup
and paste it inside …root/public_html/mysite/(copy in here)..
and it should replaced the files..
open you site in web browser and you should see (update button)
lastly click on update/upgrade button..
and it should work..

if you already having that problem… you can do the same..
thanks..
