When it happens that you can\u2019t update your WordPress via Dashboard (and believe me it can happens), which is the easiest way to do that, then you must update it manually. This tutorial will show you how.
\nFor this tutorial you will need: FTP login details, FTP client (FileZilla or similar).
\n1.<\/strong> Download the latest<\/strong> WordPress installation (usually at latest install<\/a>) and extract it somewhere on your desktop (you\u2019ll end up with wordpress<\/strong> folder)
\n2.<\/strong> Deactivate plugins from Dashboard. Go to Plugins<\/strong>, check all plugins (check-box in front of Plugin), go to Bulk Actions<\/strong>, click on drop-down menu, click Deactivate<\/strong> and Apply<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Through your FTP client (preferably FileZilla or so) go to your WP directory and delete wp-includes<\/strong> and wp-admin<\/strong> directories (CTRL select<\/strong> -> right click<\/strong> and Delete<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Upload wp-includes<\/strong> and wp-admin<\/strong> directories from new wordpress<\/strong> install folder (the one we extracted in step 1) to dir where we previously deleted them (CTRL select<\/strong> them in left pane -> right click<\/strong> and Upload<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Now enter wp-content<\/strong> dir (both source and target) and copy\/overwrite everything<\/strong> from your new wordpress folder to your old directory (do not<\/strong> delete\/copy whole<\/strong> dir just files inside!)<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Upload and overwrite all the rest files<\/strong> from new wordpress to old dir (no need to worry, it won\u2019t overwrite your wp-config.php<\/strong> file)<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> When you try to login now WordPress will remind you that it needs to update Database. Click on Update WordPress Database<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> Click Continue<\/strong> and you have the latest WordPress version now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
