 I don't remember which version it started at, but after this one upgrade,
 when trying to run upgrade.php, I got the error message

 XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: https://www.ftek.se/main/wp-
 admin/

 <title>WordPress › Uppdatera</title>"

 I also get errors for &lsaquo.

 For some reason the error disappeared when I removed the "xmlns" in <html
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> in the source code. But now when
 trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 this little trick does not work anymore. When
 trying to go to the admin-page I get this XML parsing error, so I cannot
 access the admin-page.

 My friend who is more well versed with these kinds of issues says that our
 server is configured correctly, and the fault is with Wordpress. I asked
 for help on the forum and did not get anything useful, I appreciate if you
 could help me with this.
