    The last update for WordPress in October ruined my ability to add links for when users click on images on my website unless I upload the image to my media gallery first and then use HTML to link the image to the link.

    The automated WordPress-5.3.2 update gives me a message that says it “has failed to complete” with the following message:
    Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.3.2-no-content.zip…

    The authenticity of wordpress-5.3.2-no-content.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.

    Unpacking the update…

    Verifying the unpacked files…

    Preparing to install the latest version…

    Enabling Maintenance mode…

    my website is https://wallstbets.com —> I noticed that my site has started loading much slower since October too. What’s going on with WordPress lately?

    Auto 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. We can only recommend what to do if one does occur.

    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/
