I am not looking for how to work-around the problem more an explanation as to how the text "Another update is currently in progress" is generated on WordPress 5 This request is specific to WP5 as it appears the system may have changed since before 5.0, Update How do I over-ride the "Another update is currently in progress" in WordPress 5. Yet I am still unable to find either the cause of the notification or the notfication itself in the PHP code, to manually override it ( reference here again).
maintenance file has been manually disabled. I have run through all of the answers in this question and they are invalid or not applicable (they have all been attempted to confirm this): However when presented with Re-installing Wordpress on the admin area it states that: My Wordpress is Version 5.01 and there are some technical issues PHP error logs indicate the core WordPress needs to be reinstalled ( bad syntax errors on core SQL queries with empty $vars). I know that a similar question has been asked before, but this is NOT a duplicate because this is specific to Wordpress 5+ and the answers to the similar question have all been tried to no avail.
