WordPress Update 3.8.1 Question

Posted on January 23, 2014

I updated my WordPress sites from 3.8 to 3.8.1 yet I am still have a message at the top of the dashboard saying that 3.8.1 is available and that I should upgrade. The upgrade to 3.8.1 indicated that it was successful so I am confused why I continue to see this upgrade message. I selected the Check Again button yet I still see the WordPress Update message.

Any ideas?

I just went thru the same thing. I think it is a bug in the WP update script. Clicking on the update button again or just refreshing the page should fix it.

I fixed the problem by simply restarting apache; who would have thought.

at least you guys got that far. Congrats! <br> <br>How do you fix the 3.8.1 write permissions issue that I get. (Ubuntu/WP) <br> <br>The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php <br> <br>any help is very much appreciated…
