    Hi! Several months ago wordpress stopped renewing plugins automatically. In the forum I did not receive the answer.

    Now it does not renew itself either! (it shows: Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-3.8.2-no-content.zip…

    Unpacking the update…

    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

    How can I solve this problem?

    By default, WordPress has never updated plugins automatically and there are no plans to do so in the future as far as I am aware. Automatic minor core updates were introduced in WordPress 3.7.

    Have you checked the permissions on these files? Are they 644?

    Thanks.
    Sorry, I did not express myself correctly about “automatically”. I meant that wp shows that I have plugins and I need to update them, so before I could go and press the button “update”, put password, ect. And after I could see that there are no more updates.
    But now I do that (all the same like before), but wp keeping saying that I need to update the plugin.
    So I needed to do it manually, using FileZila, and it is very uncomfortable!

    About file permission: The hole folder “includes” has 777, and everything inside also.
    I´ve change permission of update-core.php to 644. It did not help. Shows the same phrase when Im trying to update.

    Are there other thing I need to change to 644?

    Manually delete wp-admin and wp-includes and install a clean version of WP. There may be something stupid sticking around. Keep in mind, your data is SAFE 🙂

    Should I put wp-admin and ap-includes of new version of wp or of the one I have?

    Well, i tried with one I have and with new version and nothing changed. The same phrase and problem appears.
    Any more ideas? What else can I do?
