 * Hello,
 * We had a message to say that our WordPress had been updated (even though it was
   version 4?) and we needed to update the database, we clicked to update the database
   and were greeted by the following error message;
 * `Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::esc_like() in /var/www/vhosts/creare.
   co.uk/httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 564`
 * Really need to know whats wrong??
