 * Hi,
 * I have been using WordPress for a couple of years now but have come across an
   issue I can not resolve. After updating to the latest version (4.2.2) on a website(
   [http://www.bakerart.org.uk](http://www.bakerart.org.uk)) I have not been able
   to access the update-core.php page to view and install any further updates. The
   page does not load and I get a 404 server error.
 * Does anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this, or what is causing it?
 * Thanks!
 * Chris

 * Sorry a2ztechnologies, I had temporarily reverted back to the previous version
   installed. This also gets around the issue, but means I can’t use the latest 
   version of WordPress.
 * I have upgraded again to the latest version (4.2.2) and… the same problem exists.

 * The CMS login is working (e.g. can login, make changes), it’s the Updates section
   which does not load and is inaccessible.
 * Appreciate any help and ideas as is a strange issues that may stop me permanently
   upgrading unless I can resolve it.

 * Also I have found I can not access the Settings within section of WordPress (
   wp-admin/options-general.php). I get exactly the same error message and the page
   does not load (see screenshot above).
 * Is my wp-admin folder corrupted?

 * Try to replace wp-admin and wp-include folder form new one.

 * Just tried this a2ztechnologies and still the same issues.
 * I do still have a full backup of the site (previous version) which did work. 
   Is it worth restoring to the previous version, deactivating all of my plugins
   and then trying the upgrade?
