Support Forum

Yes, there is only one entry for SimplePress on my WP Plugins page. It is what I pasted above, showing 5.5.2 and prompting me to update to 5.5.3.

On the WP Updates page, there is no prompt to update SP.

I am willing to look at my server folders. The "able" might be questionable as I don't know what I'm doing. But I can log into CPanel and I believe I can find them, as I had to log in there and upload my backup file.

It goes through the update and then there's the "Update SP database" that I then click, and gives me the error message.

I changed browsers to see if that made any difference. Same thing.

Where are you seeing this message/link 'Update SP database' please? Once again that is not a Simple:Press message. 

And what now of the Forum admin menu. After updating the code there should be a single menu item that simply says 'Upgrade Simple:Press'. What do you see please?
