Were you updating from inside the WordPress control panel or from WebHostingHubs Softaculous Control Panel?
I've seen this before when my ex-GF complained she could not update her WordPress installation from the WordPress Admin control panel. This is how we got around the problem. I went to the cPanel here on WebHostingHub. I went to the install apps page and clicked the icon on the top of the page for Application Installs. I then clicked the backup icon for the listed WordPress installation. It looks like a folder with a belt around it. After it is backed up I then clicked the update icon that looks like 2 blue swirling arrows. cPanel might tell you there is a version mismatch and then fix it. You can then click those 2 arrows again to update your install. I think the version that gets stored in cPanel/Softaculous can have an issue if you update from inside WordPress sometimes. This solved the problem for us. Short answer: Backup and upgrade from the cPanel not from inside WordPress itself. |
