Title: Upgrade problems Last modified: January 18, 2017 --- # Upgrade problems * [A13XDB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a13xdb/) * (@a13xdb) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-problems-27/) * An old chestnut I am afraid. * I have very limited skills. I am running WordPress in Google Cloud Services ( GCS) provided by GCS. * Since the update to 4.5.3 I have not been able to upgrade beyond this version. * Using the Bitnami forum I have been told backup, create a new install, restore. This would be fine if I had the skills to do this, I do not. The instructions provided would quite clear to someone who understood what was being conveyed, unfortunately not to me. * I am sure there is an easy route to resolve this with step by step instructions. Any assistance would be appreciated. * This is a error report I have received. * ``` WordPress site: http:// FAILED: WordPress failed to update to WordPress 4.7.1 The following translations were successfully updated: * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Contact Form 7 * SUCCESS: Translations for Download Monitor * SUCCESS: Translations for Download Monitor * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Duplicate Post * SUCCESS: Translations for Easy Updates Manager * SUCCESS: Translations for Flamingo * SUCCESS: Translations for Flamingo * SUCCESS: Translations for Flamingo * SUCCESS: Translations for Flamingo * SUCCESS: Translations for Showcase - Visual Composer Addon * SUCCESS: Translations for WP-Mail-SMTP * SUCCESS: Translations for WP-Mail-SMTP * SUCCESS: Translations for WP-Mail-SMTP BETA TESTING?
