    wp-admin 404 error after upgrading to 3.5.2

    A couple of days ago I upgraded my wordpress from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2. After the upgrade I wasn’t able to log back into the admin page. I just now got it back to working status. I found a post on the wordpress.org forum that helped me out. Thank you ahiddleston.

    Capture

    – V3.5.2 seemed to update okay but I was kicked out of the dashboard right after it finished patching

    – could not get back in

    – noticed the 404 URL string was referencing “wp-admin/upgrade.php” could not be found

    – copied in a new and fresh upgrade.php file

    – WordPress prompted that the DB was out of date and need patching

    – DB patched — everything working great again.

    Upgrade WordPress from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1

    Just upgraded then wrote this. Well I didn’t even know there was an update to 3.5 because usually the dashboard tells you. I guess there is no automatic upgrade. I downloaded the zip from wordpress, and extracted the files. Backed up everything, disabled all my plug-ins, then deleted everything in the root directory except wp-config.php and the wp-content folder. I copied everything over from the zip file except the wp-content folder, and after that I was pretty much done. Just navigated to marcelliot.net/wp-admin/upgrade.php and clicked upgrade. I logged in, enabled all my plug-ins and I was back up. It was pretty damn pain-free, probably took me longer to write this…
