# Automatic Upgrade Hostname problem

 * I’ve got a few different blogs but am only having issues with one of them. When
   I go to upgrade automatically the Hostname is pre-filled with
 * ://mydomain.co.uk
 * and then when I try to change it, to the correct FTP Hostname I get this when
   I click submit:
 * xx.xx.xx.x://mydomain.co.uk
 * So basically it keeps adding the first line of text to whatever I enter!
 * I’ve tried using a few different browsers but it seems the caching of those details
   is somewhere in WP and not my server.
 * Any ideas?

 * Just to let you know that I managed to revolve this issue by upgrading to the
   very latest version of WP (by doing this manually) and then it seemed to remove
   the :// element that was messing up the automatic upgrades. Hope this helps you
   as well?

 * what is the username and password they are asking for? and the host name is my
   url?

 * Not sure I understand your question but basically you need to enter your FTP 
   details i.e. server, username and password as provided by your web hosts.
