    After updating to the newest Genesis version 2.5.2 I am not able to access my wp-admin area. I get this message:

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function genesis_upgrade_2502() in /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/upgrade.php:604 Stack trace: #0 /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): genesis_upgrade('') #1 /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php(154): do_action('admin_init') #4 /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-admin/index.php(10): require_once('/www/htdocs/w01...') #5 {main} thrown in /www/htdocs/w016fd79/mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/upgrade.php on line 604

    What should I do now? Any help?

    There's a typo in the upgrade function that just got me as well.

    How I fixed it:

    /wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/upgrade.php
    On line 604: change genesis_upgrade_2502 to genesis_upgrade_2503 then refresh the page with the missing function error.

    Not sure if they meant that to be named 2502 or 2503, but the actual function is named 2503, hence the missing function error.
