 * I’m having issues with inaccessible admin after each WordPress upgrade. What 
   happens after inserting the admin credentials is the page reloads with the following
   url:
 * [https://www.website.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wphttp_referrer=%2Fwp-admin%2F](https://www.website.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wphttp_referrer=%2Fwp-admin%2F)
 * It seems that the issue is caused by a difference in the database version number.
   I’m updating wp-include/version.php to force a match to the database’s version.
 * It can be fixed only if I change the number on both places (phpMyAdmin and versions.
   php file) to be the lower number.
 * This happens after every WordPress upgrade for the past around 3 upgrades as 
   far as I remember. I haven’t changed anything before that started happening.
 * Any helps is greatly appreciated!

 * Flushing any caches that touch your site is the common fix for this kind of post-

 * Flushing caches doesn’t help unfortunately.

 * Does your hosting provider offer WP-CLI over shell (aka SSH)?
 * If so, please try `wp cache flush`
