 * OK, this might not be a WordPress problem exactly, but maybe someone could help
   me.
    When I click the auto-update option for plugins, the page displays:
 *     ```
       Warning: tempnam() has been disabled for security reasons in /****/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 316
       ```
   
 * Is there a way to fix it?

   form.
