Problems upgrading WP. Version will not change

    I have an older site on WP 3.4.2. I’m trying to get it up to 3.6. I’m doing the update manually (get rid of all but wp-content folder and upload fresh). I’ve tried this multiple times and every time my WP version stays at 3.4.2. That and the admin CSS is a bit off now (menu items too think and some text overlapping where it should not. screenshot: http://d.pr/i/vWia )

    Other problems:
    -trying to access the plugins area gets me this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function in_admin() on a non-object in /mnt/live/ppmain/refresh/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php on line 75
    -Trying to manually go to wp-admin/upgrade.php gets this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::get_charset_collate() in /mnt/live/ppmain/refresh/wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 20
    -going to the users page will load the page but no users are listed and this error appears just above the list of users table: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_edit_user_link() in /mnt/live/ppmain/refresh/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-users-list-table.php on line 244

    I’m using twentytwelve and I’ve tried disabling the plugins folder too. I tried upgrading to 3.5 first but the same things happen. I’ve tried transferring the files via FTP and SCP/SSH both.

    The only not-normal thing I can think of is that this site was just transferred over from a different host. Same domain name and everything, but new host. The front end of the site seems fine.

    Has anyone seen this kind of thing before or have a guess as to other things I could try?

    Can you disable your current theme (go to the themes folder and rename the folder your theme sits in) and see if maybe your theme is the issue?

    I’m have already switched to vanilla twentytwelve, the theme would not be the issue. It was one of the first things I did.

    I also mentioned that in my post 🙂
    Good on you for mentioning it though, it’s a valuable debugging step.

    It turns out this is part of some cache issue I’ve got with the crazy setup I’m working with. even though I uploaded fresh files, the server was reading from the old files out of cache.

    my issue is resolved.
