   Yeah I know - wierd topic title, but that's what's happening

   Here's the error from the server when trying to upgrade - it's happening to all plug-ins and I can't figure out where it's coming from - this install has been running sweet for 18 months plus, and this has just started happening out of the blue -

   Upgrade Plugin

   Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-to-twitter.zip

   Unpacking the update

   Could not copy file: /home/hostingusername/public_html/blog/wp-content/upgrade/wp-to-twitter/wp-to-twitter/cligs.png

   Installation Failed

   Note the sudden appearance of the double foldername in the path - it's now happening on all plug-ins and I cannot update any plugin at all.

   Please help people - where is that path getting called from, so I can try to fix it

   Thanks

   Further checking on this reveals it is only happening on my WP 2.6.x blogs - but is happening on ALL the 2.6.x blogs, with ALL plugins - it is not happening on any of the 2.7.1 blogs

   (Before anyone says it - I have several blogs which CANNOT be upgraded to 2.7.1 because of core site functionality derived from plugins that have not been, and will not be, upgraded for 2.7.x and beyond.

   It is therefore looking like some change or other has been made in how the plugin repository is packing the plugins, which is causing the double folder name in the path ...

   ... unless someone knows something I don't ?

   cough*bullshit*cough

   sorry, thats simply not true. ANYONE can find someone to fix old code in a plugin -- it just depends on how hard they are willing to look, and whether or not they are willing to pay.

   Thats like saying that you are willing to drive a car with no brakes because you dont want the paint scratched by a mechanic (or something).

   I sooo wish I had bookmarked the year old (or so) discussion between donncha and whoever that was regarding the bad choices people make dealing with plugins and upgrades. It really was a keeper.

   Its just a matter of when, if you continue to run old copies of wordpress. I watch my own logs like a hawk, and get nightly logs of EVERY $_POST sent to my site. Just last night, I saw about 30 different attempts at exploiting old wordpress code. Good thing that I am on the ball, eh?

   sucks to get told the truth doesnt it? you didnt want to hear what you knew was coming or else you wouldnt have said, "before anyone says it.."

   thing is, you dont get to pick and chose how people respond. and you got, exactly what you should hear. Youre full of crap dude -- IF you wanted a secure site, and IF you wanted to have all that supposed plugin functionality that you would supposedly be missing IF you upgraded, you would buck up and do what needs to be and can be done.

   But no.. you dont, and you wont, so you come here.. and act like youre entitled to getting help with running an older version, without even hearing the OFT-mentioned "you need to upgrade" remarks...

   Good luck bud.
