 * I finally got around to updating one site (there was a W3cache plugin update)…
   I took that first and then the 4.7 upgrade and all worked fine. Then I moved 
   on to another site and had the same problem as originally (described above). 
   I took the W3cache plugin update and then the 4.7 upgrade and am locked out of
   the admin again (but front end is good). When I go to my wp-admin screen, it 
   reverts to “upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F” and shows me a screen
   with “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 database
   update process may take a little while, so please be patient.”
 * I then went in via ftp and deleted he /plugins/w3-total-cache directory and the/
   includes/w3tc-config directory, and these files in the /wp-content/directory –
   db.php, advanced-cache.php, object-cache.php. I also, edited the .htaccess and
   wp-config.php files to remove any W3 cache details. I am still stuck – same result.
 * Any other suggestions to get my admin back up. [@kilgore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kilgore/)
   will definitely delete the plugin first for my remaining sites… this is is a 
   pain.

 * Thanks Kilgore. I had been waiting to see if w3Cache would be updated since I
   have quite a few sites to upgrade, but I appreciate your feedback. When I upgraded
   on one site before, it only disabled the admin side but after the upgrade, manually
   deleting the W3Cache folders/files wouldn’t fix it – I had to do a complete restore
   from backup. I may try your approach on my dev server and see how that works.
   Thanks
