    Hello!

     

    I'm facing with a problem which is the following. When I try to upgrade from version 5.2.1  to 5.3.3 i get the error: The file uploaded was not a TAR archive.

    And I have just downloaded the file from SE console.. Please help...

     

    Kind regards, G

    You aren't using the tar. Your screenshot shows you are using the zip. Please go download the upgrade as you downloaded the main core for fresh installs. that will delete your site.

    Check the task manager and make sure it is running. Also try clearing cache if you are sure you already approved it.

    Hi.. 
    I did check the task scheduler, and it seems to be working fine. Also I flushed cache twice and it's still appearing..Its strange ..

    Try approving the user again. Maybe try from their profile.

    I did try to ignore the request, and send another friend request. It worked. Thanks Donna!

    You're welcome. It must have been a glitch.
