    I can’t update wordpress,

    If you are trying to update, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Download a fresh copy and try it again. It’s not a major issue. Delete the old Wp-admin folder and Wo-content/directory.

    Checking to ensure that you and your web host have the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
    Downloading the most current version of WordPress.
    Unzipping the downloaded file to a folder on your hard drive.
    Creating a secure password for your Secret Key
    Keeping this webpage open so you have it handy during the installation.
