This article will show you how to update your wordpress manually, if you cannot access your wordpress dashboard due to any problem like this one.
Before starting the update process we will backup everything so incase something goes wrong we can recover our site from the backup.
Now assuming you are using the manual update method because you cannot access your wordpress dashboard else if you can access your wordpress dashboard I would advise you to instead of manual method use the automatic method.
Make sure your mysql database user has all privileges else restricted privileges may interrupt the upgrade process.
Now download the latest version of wordpress from wordpress.org then upload all the files via ftp/cpanel to your server.
To make things easier I would recommend you to extract the downloaded folder in your desktop and rename the wp-admin folder to your custom folder name (if you have renamed your wp-admin)
Now upload all the new files and to your server and overrite the existing (old) ones.
Now go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php and follow the on screen instructions to update your wordpress.
After finishing the update procedure delete all the unnecessary files from your server like readme.html, license.txt,wp-configsample.php (this will also help in not revealing your wordpress version) and any other unnecessary file.
If this article helped you please give it a google plus this will help others in finding it and if you having queries/problem you can ask below I would be glad to help you :)
