 * 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…](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…
 * Copying the required files…

 * my website is [https://wallstbets.com](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](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/),
   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](https://wordpress.org/support/article/updating-wordpress/#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/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/)**
