== Reproduction Report
=== Description
This report validates whether the issue can be reproduced.
=== Environment
- WordPress: 6.9
- PHP: 8.3.29
- Server: PHP.wasm
- Database: WP_SQLite_Driver (Server: 8.0.38 / Client: 3.51.0)
- Browser: Chrome 143.0.0.0
- OS: macOS
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three 1.1
- MU Plugins: None activated
- Plugins:
* Test Reports 1.2.1
=== Actual Results
Tested upgrading from 6.2.1 to 6.9 and 404 issue didn't happened.
=== Additional Notes
Found a solution in one of the wordpress.org support threads mentioned by
@adatosystems
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-php-is-404-after-update-
to-6-3/
Suggested solution (which I can't replicate at this point):
1- Open the "wp_options" table using phpmyadmin
2- Find the “db_version” record and note the "option_value"
3- Using file manager of your control panel or FTP, make a copy of
/wp_includes/version.php
4- Edit version.php and change the line for "$wp_db_version=" to match the
version found in the database
5- Try accessing the WordPress dashboard via /wp-admin/ again and re-try
the upgrades.
