Answers.Body: <p>David, I've seen a few things with the 4.7 upgrades on WordPress that made me double-check the clearing CiviCRM cache's and the browser caches.  It hasn't always been apparent that it's been vital in the past, and I'm sure I've been sloppy with it.  Is that what you are experiencing?</p>

Title: Problem with upgrade to 4.7.0 (Wordpress 4.4.2)
ThreadText: # Problem with upgrade to 4.7.0 (Wordpress 4.4.2)
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-03)
  
  I recently upgraded our site to 4.7.0. The upgrade seemed to go well, but now there is a problem when starting it up fresh.
  
  The first time I try to start it, the initialisation seems to get lost in an infinite loop in the routine .../civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Utils/File.php on line 680. Using a debugging statement, it seems to be looking for the file pattern "info.xml".
  
  The weird thing though is, that it starts OK if one tries for a second time without closing the browser.
  
  What could the issue be? I have done no special customisations to my installation (as far as I know)

  I reloaded the full database yet again. Cleared the caches ultra carefully. Then I set the maximum time limit on my server up to 60 seconds, and the error did not recur.
  
  This time it worked. Hurrah!
  
  BUT - see the various comments. The most important is that I missed the instruction to set up the settings\_location.php file because the bootstrap cannot find the settings file in the STANDARD Wordpress set up! Can't that be corrected?
