/upgrade.php Not Working After WordPress Auto-Upgrade.
January 26, 2022
Due to the option to hide the upgrade.php file in Hide My WP > Change Paths > WP Core Security > Hide WordPress Common Files, it seems that the upgrade.php file is not accessible by WordPress after the auto-upgrade and it is needed to complete the WordPress upgrade.
To make it work, edit the .htaccess file using sFTP or server File Manager and remove the line:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(readme\.html|readme\.txt|install\.php|license\.txt|php\.ini|upgrade\.php|bb-config\.php|error_log) [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,R=404] </IfModule>
We add this fix in Hide My WP Ghost version 6.0.13. Upgrade the plugin after login and save the settings to rebuild the .htaccess rules.
