   After supplying (proper) FTP credentials during the upgrade plugin process, I receive the error message "Unable to locate WordPress directory."

   As part of the troubleshooting process, I went so far as to create a new FTP user with a home/root directory that is the same as WordPress' root. Supplying this new login information did not resolve the problem.

   How does WordPress identify the WordPress directory?

   Change your FTP users home directory to be the directory where your wordpress installation is.

   For example, my installation is in:
   /var/www/vhosts/cheaperbycar.co.uk/httpdocs/news

   So change the users home page to be this directory. In *nix do this:
   usermod -d /var/www/vhosts/cheaperbycar.co.uk/httpdocs/news user

   That's a radical solution. Isn't there a way to do this with a variable in config?

   (nevermind - i thought this was concerning the built-in upgrade in 2.7)
