 * Hi, I have tried updating to 4.6 but it run into:
 * > The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files.
   > This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-
   > core.php
   > Installation Failed
 * I only manage the site via the wp_admin panel so I don’t have FTP access to change
   the permissions.
 * I wanting to update so that the theme I’m using is supported(Currently using 
   Vantage Premium) but it requires the 4.6 update.
 * What can I do to update?
 * Thanks,
 * Johnathan
