 * When I try to update a plugin automatically, I get this message:
 * > Upgrade Plugin
   > Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content).
 * I have my WP files in the /blog directory; I’ve tried logging into the server
   using the root directory (gives me the message above) and the /blog directory(
   in which case I get: “Failed to connect to FTP Server coolsiteoftheday.com//blog:
   21”
 * Thanks,
