[wp-testers] Upgrade Question

[Paul Robinson]

You might be disconnecting from the internet or your wireless signal could
be getting disrupted & stalling, I doubt it though. You could however try
hooking up and cable to your router instead of using wireless & try that, if
it's at all possible.

Also if a update fails you can remove the maintainence page by looking for a
file called .maintainence in the root of your WP installation & deleting it,
that's just in case you didn't know. It only tends to be visible when
connecting through SFTP on my server though.

As for your update failing, if it's not the shaky connection it might be
that WP needs to use FTP access & you have entered the information
incorrectly... I dunnot I'm just a tester & not really great at the back end
stuff. Hopefully a dev will beable to extend on what I've said, and probably
correct a few mistakes I've made along the way. :)

Paul.
