    I have no idea what the problem is but neither the plugin upgrade nor the WP upgrade will work. It seems to be a permissions problem but the permissions are set correctly and the hosting co have checked and csan’t figure out what is going on. I get this error msg:

    Upgrade Plugin

    Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/google-sitemap-generator.3.1.9.zip.

    Unpacking the update.

    Warning: ftp_mkdir() [function.ftp-mkdir]: /home/creative/public_html/wp-content/upgrade: Permission denied in /home/creative/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 240

    Could not create directory /home/creative/public_html/wp-content/upgrade

    It seems to be a problem with the FTP

    /wp-content/upgrade
    chmod these folders 777
    do upgrade
    chmod back to 755
    should work from now on

    I’m having the same problem upgrading to 2.8.6. I tried temporarily chmoding the folder to 777, but my ISP (hungerhost.com) is apparently set up to disallow that. Any other suggestions?

    My ISP solved the problem: there was a file ownership issue resulting from a move to a new server; they fixed it and the update went smoothly.
