## Overview

When [[updating-wordpress]] from WordPress 4.1 to 4.1.1, submitting FTP credentials results in a blank page.

## Cause

A bug in WordPress 4.1's update module prevents version information from being sent to WordPress's update servers. See [WordPress ticket #31378](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31378) for details.

## Solution

WordPress temporarily added a second **Update Now** button on the updates page that includes the required version information. Click the _second_ **Update Now** button to complete the update.
