udate 4.7 fails

Thank you for your quick response. I tried deactivating all the plugins and eventually changed the theme as you suggested but it still would not update to the 4.7. I am on a shared hosting with Name.com and the site is a subdomain. Perhaps this is where the problem is. I also looked at the manual update and I would no where near be able to understand how to do that. I will check with my hosting to increase memory perhaps. If they cannot help, I guess I will just stick to the old version as long as I can.

Thanks again,
Steve

Thanks for your time and effort. I am afraid I do not understand about files. I know how to get to them but am not sure how to bring them up or delete them.I have not even ever been able to install a FTP file system without running into a barrior to stop me. I almost know for sure that I would mess up my entire site for sure. I could never learn about files because in the years of researching and googleing nobody has ever explained it on a total beginners level for me. I have searched thru WP Beginners – and all the wordpress forums for years and could never make any sense on how to do it. It is is always explained on a technical basis for those who already understand files. The reps at Name.com will not even touch the files because they do not understand well enough to do it either probably. I will either have to change hosting or just erase the site eventually. This is what WordPress problematic updates do to me. In the 5 years of using wordpress I have never had a problem updating to a new version until now. I have looked at the forums for problems updating this version and there are a lot of them listed. But the explanations might as well be in chinese – because I do not understand them what so ever.
