I tried several times to update EE4 through the WordPress admin, but it kept failing. Instead I uploaded the files directly to the server.
However EE is now in complete maintenance mode until the database has been updated. I have taken a backup and go in and click update – then nothing happens.
What you can do that will help is you deactivate EE, then delete the event espresso plugin folder from the /plugins folder, then upload a fresh zip file to your WordPress plugins page using the plugin installer. Then you add the following to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'EE_MIGRATION_STEP_SIZE', 1);
You add the above to the file before the line where it says to stop editing, then save. Then after that you can restart the migration.
