Dec

2010
I am unable to update my wordpress to the latest version 3.0.2. It gives the following message – Could not create directory.: /wp-content
I have tried with 777 file permissions for wp-content, but now it says – Could not copy file.: /wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css
Please help.
Thanks.

Thanks Amit, I had given 777 permission to the whole of WP-content folder, but still it did not work. I will try the plugin you mentioned and see if it works!!

Hi Amit I am unable to find the plugin by that name in my wordpress dashboard, is it available on wp dashboard, plugins folder, or I have to download it and upload it via ftp?

The plugin is available in the WordPress plugins database. Try to search through the backend or else directly download the plugin from here – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/ and try to activate it. Next run the same and this would perform a step by step blog upgrade.

This could be a problem with the permissions, you need to ensure that the whole of your wp-content folder is given a 777 permission. Also try to update the blog through a WordPress plugin called a Auto Wp Update which could try to fix this problem and upgrade the blog in a step by step process.
