I am trying to upgrade my WordPress website from version 4.6 to 4.7. When I try this through the WordPress panel, I get an error after about 3 minutes of waiting which is:
500 - The request timed out.
The web server failed to respond within the specified time.
I have tried the upgrade multiple times (at different times) and gotten the same error.
My WordPress site is hosted on Microsoft Azure, and I have never had problems upgrading a version of WordPress before. How do I make the upgrade correctly?
