  If you do not have anything custom, simply delete the old Civi folder, purge the templates\_c in the Uploads folder and then go here:
  
  <https://example.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/upgrade&reset=1>
  
  I have a the CiviCRM Admin Utilities plugin and does wonders as it automates a lot of stuff. You can trigger the Clean Cache, Rebuild on the fly, and trigger the upgrade there, as well.
