    I’ve had this problem on one site only, off and on for a few weeks, i.e. on 3.8.1 & 3.8.2. The theme in use is Ward & I have moved the site (for other reasons) to a different host, and on my local laptop…same problem on all.

    When I try to update, the update appears to start correctly but fails with this message

    Removing the old version of the plugin…

    Could not remove the old plugin.

    Plugin update failed.

    Anyone with good ideas? I have not tried pulling it out via ftp.

    “Could not remove the old plugin.”

    That is probably an error with server permissions. I would use the ftp client to delete the Akismet plugin and then install new.

    Does this happen with all other plugins?
