 * Hi,
    “Database Update Required
 * WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update
   your database to the newest version.
 * The update process may take a little while, so please be patient.”
 * Update WordPress DatabaseI tried to update the database but after clicking on
   the update wordpress database, it shows a blank page with WordPress Logo and “
   wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=1&backto=%2Fwp-admin%2F”
    this in address bar. I have
   tried renaming plgins folder, tried downgrading wordpress, tried renaming theme.
   But i think the problem is someplace else. Could anyone help

 * Hi avnibindal,
 * Do you know what version you were trying to update from?
    Do you recall what 
   actions you took to update?

 * Hi,
    I was trying to update it to version 4.0 on 15th Feb I got an update notification
   on dashboard. I forgot to disable the plugins before clicking on the update now.
   But when on 17th, I tried to access my wp-admin page, the update page was displayed
   and when I clicked on Update WordPress Database, it showed me a blank page with
   WordPress Logo. The version.php shows wp_version as 3.9.3 and wp_db_version as
   27916.

 * Resolved for now. I replaced all the files and folders except for the wp-contents
   folder. I got the admin login back. 3 update notices on my dashboard:
    1. WooCommerce
   Data Update Required – We just need to update your install to the latest version.
   2. Your theme has bundled outdated copies of WooCommerce template files. 3. The
   Frontend Styles options is deprecated – If you want to continue editing the colors
   of your store is recommended that you install the replacement WooCommerce Colors
   plugin from WordPress.org.
