Hi guys.. did your latest wordpress update today on two of my sites. one it went fine as usual, but on www.ebaymotorssucks.com trying to update the database just says starting but never shows any progress in the gold bar. little wheel spins but nothing else. now the forum page is saying its disabled for an update. any suggestions?
thanks..
usually caused by something interfering with the ajax request and or response… with your browser console open, try upgrading and see what the response is…

Yep.. Great advice!
It was a plugin “Rebel Mouse” that interrupted it. Disabled it and database updated with no problems. Strange but that same plugin is on another site running sp that updated with no problem.
Once again – thanks for the help. I learned another thing today.. 
why one site and not another is a good question… probably dependent on what it is sending with the request and perhaps when – might not do it every page load perhaps.
But love the name ‘Rebel Mouse’… whatever it is!

It’s a WordPress inline frame embedder from RebelMouse.com http://www.docsplace.org/social-stream/
Basically whatever social network you give them access to (i used twitter) they compile all my tweets into a graphical social stream: https://www.rebelmouse.com/docsbbs/
Pretty neat – small seo benefit as some posts lead back to home. Sure is building RebelMouse.com a lot of back links!
So it sounds like it probably goes out and get’s it’s data on the back of other url requests…

To sign up a user simply signs in with a social network then provides their desired page name. I mostly use G+ but didn’t trust it accessing my acct. I’m assuming they use api access to my twitter acct and receive notification and update whenever i tweet. It’s for graphical content only. Text links will not be included in the stream.

So what did you see in the console? Were there queries riding shotgun?
I’m not that up in coding etc. But clued by the RebelMouse error at the bottom. However there is a slew of caution errors.

Sorry, I kept resizing it to meet the upload size requirement. Should have put it on my server and used a link. Will do that next time – should have not re-sized the original.

Here is another. Today’s update did the same thing, disabling RebelMouse allowed the database update.
