all. I am trying to update WordPress to the latest version(4.9.1). The installation of new version of WordPress seems to be updated successfully as show in the picture. Except, my site was redirected to previous version's (4.9) about page after installation, and from the dashboard my site still shows the information of 'update available'. I double checked the version.php under wp-include. It shows the latest version number(4.9.1). I am wondering why my site doesn't detect the upgrade of wordpress? Appreciate if any one can advise the problem. Thank you.

Step 1: click the 'update now' to update WP. enter image description here

Step 2: Update information page. It shows successful installation. enter image description here

Step 3: Automatically redirect to version about page. enter image description here

Step 4: Dashboard still showing old version number and prompt new version available. enter image description here

Step 5: check version.php. enter image description here

Try navigating to /wp-admin/upgrade.php and see if it gives you the option to force the update on your database. - Clayton Leis
Hi @ClaytonLeis, thanks for your reply. wp-admin/upgrade.php page shows that no update required, WordPress database is already up-to-date! - HW Siew
@ClaytonLeis Tried it already. Doesnt suggest upgrade. - Edža

To whom it may concern. It was the cache issue on my server. After flushing the cache, it works.

Thanks.
