 * Ok, I have really really annoying problem.
    Neither automatic updates are working
   nor plugin uploads are working.
 * I’ve uploaded last version of wp and installed. Then I was trying to upload Aksimet
   or how it’s called and it didn’t.
 * When I say it didn’t, it means it was just stuck. Here is screenshot when I’m
   trying to upload my plugin and look what he does.

 * It is strange you don’t get some kind of error. Check the php error log and see
   if there is some error there.
 * Some hosting providers don’t allow you to upgrade without any configuration and
   WP asks for ftp host&user&password each time you upgrade something. The solution
   for that is to have the FTP host, user and password in the wp-config.php file,
   like this:
 *     ```
       define('FTP_HOST', 'localhost');
       define('FTP_USER', 'username');
       define('FTP_PASS', 'password');
       ```

 * Also check the writing capabilities to /wp-content/plugins (set them to 777 for
   instance)

 * [@conualfy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/conualfy/), where can I check
   it?
 * root directory/logs/mydomain.com/
 * and there is files like this:
 * mydomain.com
    mydomain.com.1 mydomain.com.2.gz
 * What to do?

 * Don’t you have some kind of control panel (Cpanel, Plesk, Kloxo)? In that configuration
   panel you should have somewhere the error logs.
 * One more thing – enable in wp-config.php error logging:
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
   define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);
 * Then try again to upgrade and see if you have on your screen some more information
   about what’s going on.
