WordPress Error: Database Update Required

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

Solution:

This is due to a mismatch between the database versions you said you are using in the settings.

Please follow these steps:

1. Go to /wp-include/ folder and open the version.php.
2. Find the value for $wp_db_version, and write it down.
3. Now, open your database, check-in the table called wp_options
4. Find the db_version value:
   SELECT option_value FROM yourdatabase.wp_options WHERE option_name = 'db_version';
5. Those two values must be the same. Change it in the version.php file, not the database.
