• Hi,

    I’m trying to launch an update from my backoffice but after it downloads the zip and unzip it, it says unable to copy the file : wordpress/wp-login.php. The issue is that this file is not located in the wordpress directory but directly here /wp-login.php.

    Do you know where I can change this?

    Thanks

    launch an update from my backoffice

    Can you elaborate please? Are you trying update WP, or plugins, or theme?

    Updates can fail for a large number of reasons and it is often hard to diagnose the failure due to specific configurations present on each server running the update.

    Try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. (NOTE: do not delete the wp-content directory or your wp-config.php file). Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! See https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/
