hi,
i am at my wits end here. for the second time in a week, i am locked out of dashboard bc of wordpress updates.
when i try to get to wp-admin, it takes me to "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 Database"
This times out after 60 seconds, taking me to site 404 page. If i try to run it again, the site goes down completely with "Error Establishing Database Connection"
STEPS TAKEN SO FAR -
I have reviewed and implemented all the database tips in the Master guide.
-- Overwritten all WP-admin and wp-includes files and folders manually update files manually via FTP
-- deactivated all plugins
-- changed cache filenames
PLEASE help. Bluehost not able to find a problem and cannot fix.
Totally locked out of dashboard and admin, unable to post anything.
