Try:
– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
It seems that, some plugins are causing this issue. First of all, disable all plugin and check whether the same issue occurs or not? If you are still facing the same issue, download a fresh copy of WordPress files by visiting http://www.ww.wp.xz.cn. Reupload all files and folders expect the wp-content.php folder otherwise it will remove all of your contents. Once done, run the manual upgrade.
Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I have tried all of these with no luck!
I am still having this issue and cannot get any joy trying anything, it is all very confusing.
Does anyone know any way to fix this?
I’m in the same boat here. I’ve tried all the advice in the previous posts and I’m still stuck in the loop?
@loudat – if these solutions don’t work, please start your own thread per the forum guidelines.

Include details about your site/hosting and what you have already tried.
Found a solution – for me at least:I changed the database number in
wp-includes\ version.php
My hosting is with Webfusion and I upgraded to WordPress 3.8 when things went tits up.
First I attempted to follow the instructions in this very handy link.

Essentially access your databse via whatever method your hosting providor offers.
Intructions on how to do this will probably be in a email from your hosting providor …somehwhere.
If you’re stuck for a user name and password have a look inside your wordpress install via FTP. There’s a file there called wp-config.php
The Db username and Db password can be found in there
However when I tracked down suitable entry in phpMYadmin for updating the value of the databse version I din’t have permissions to edit it. Not sure why.
But I did get the value and write it down… in this case the database version was “25824”
Then,
via FTP I went into the WP-Includes folder
found Verision.php
and edited the file so the values in version.php and the db_version entry in the database matched. So it looks like this
$wp_db_version = 25824
<?php
/**
* The WordPress version string
*
* @global string $wp_version
*/
$wp_version = '3.8';
/**
* Holds the WordPress DB revision, increments when changes are made to the WordPress DB schema.
*
* @global int $wp_db_version
*/
$wp_db_version = 25824
/**
Then, hey presto, I was able to access my wordpress dashboard.
Hopefully this nonsense helps someone!
