Hi,
I have been unable to update my wordpress blog from 4.6.1 to 4.7 for the past couple hours. I get the following error:
Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-4.7-new-bundled.zip…
Unpacking the update…
The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
Installation Failed
I see that this is not an uncommon problem just from searching the support forums but still haven’t been able to fix it myself. I used FileZilla to reset all my file permissions to ensure that all directories are at 755 and all files are at 644. This has not resolved the issue.
My websited is hosted by BlueHost.
Additional info:
I was using WordPress just fine this afternoon while uploading some new media files. Half way through the process my image uploads began failing. About 5 uploaded, and the rest I couldn’t get to upload. I gave up on that and decided to update WordPress and some outdated plugins and that is when I began getting this error. I am assuming that my image uploading difficulties are related.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
