Automatic Plugin Install & Automatic Upgrade Problem

    Hi Support,

    A few days ago I updated to the latest WordPress version 2.7.1 via the new automatic upgrade function.

    Unfortunately since then I can’t use this function anymore. Also the plugin install function (not via the own ftp) isn’t working anymore.

    This is the error message I get when trying to install a plugin within WordPress.
    _____
    Plugin will be installed: WP-PageNavi 2.40

    The WordPress Plugin directory can not be found.
    Installation failed.
    _____

    It did work fine before I upgraded to 2.7.1!

    I have also already tried to give the folders different rights. Treid it with CHMOD 775 and 777. And it still didn’t work ;(

    I really hope you’ll be able to help, as I think this function is really really helpful and I would use it a lot.

    Many thank,
    mirtei

    HI,

    Please check with the folder ownership as it may be corrupted..and also check with the FTP details that you have set for automatic upgrade plugin.

    Thanks,

    Hey Shane,

    First of all thanks for your support.

    Can you specify where exactly I can check the folder ownerships or how I can fix it?
    Also, where do I set the ftp details for the automatic upgrade plugin?

    Thanks in advance!

    whenever i try to install a plugin via the automatic install it tells me it can not connect to the server. I put in all the correct information and still get the same problem. What should I do?

    I have similar problems, I still have two sites; one using WordPress 2.5.1 and another one using 2.6

    The 2.5.1 cannot seem to automatic upgrade the plugins from the dashboard.
    It always says something like this:

    Downloading update from ……

    Unpacking the update

    Could not copy file

    Any insights?

    I’ve tried the following solutions as other people have suggested:
    1. Add the FTP account and put it on the config file (http://blog.noizeramp.com/2008/09/10/wordpress-unable-to-locate-wordpress-plugin-directory/)
    2. chmod the folders to 777

    Nothing works yet …
