In reply to: Automatic update failureThanks! 🙂

In reply to: Automatic update failureYep, I did a manual update. I’m trying auto-REinstalls now. Since these fail with the same error message, I assume the problem remains and needs to be fixed before next update.

In reply to: Automatic update failureNope. Still fails. Thanks for your suggestions. Googling suggests this is a fairly common but very tricky problem. I’ve been in touch with my hosting company and all seems good at their end. My two other blogs auto update fine.

In reply to: Automatic update failure0755. I ran these commands on the whole install:
find [path]/public_html/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find [path]/public_html/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Automatic update failureDoh! Sorry — it was a typo! All the directories are 755. All the files 644.

In reply to: Automatic update failureHi — All my directories are now set to 775 and files to 644, but the problem’s still there. One-click update fails with message:
“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”
I have two other blogs on the same server that auto update fine, and this one did till I this last update. No other changes to the site except for content (text) and plugin updates.
Does anyone have any more suggestions for debugging this, please?

In reply to: Automatic update failureThanks. I flipped all the files in admin/includes/ over to 0644, but the problem still remains. Same error message – inconsistent file permissions on update-core.php. 🙁

In reply to: Automatic update failureupdate-core.php is set to 0664 (same as all files).

In reply to: Automatic update failureHi —
Thanks for your suggestion. I was just hitting the button (it’s always worked in the past!). However, I’ve just tried again with all the plugins deactivated, and I still get the same problem (same error message “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”).
So it doesn’t look like a plugin issue. 🙁Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Automatic update failureHi
Thanks for your reply. The auto install was definitely not working — it reported ‘Installation failed’ each time.
I’ve done a manual update for now, but there’s still an underlying problem. After the manual update, I tried an auto re-update to see if the problem reoccurred, and it did. So the problem’s not fixed.
As you say, it seems to be about file permissions. Does anyone have any advice on how to track down the source of the problem, please?
Thanks!
Brilliant! That’s a neat option.
Thanks again. I’ll rate the plugin now.
Best, Keith
Thanks! I certainly will rate the plugin (and highly!)
One final, final question, if I may, please: Can custom css be used to display or hide particular columns? From your original answer I suspect it can’t, but if it could it would offer an even neater solution to my problem. I could put the icons in a separate column and set the column to hide if the browser window was smaller than 768px.
Best wishes,
KeithThank you Tobias! That works perfectly.
One final question, please, if I may: Will this custom css be retained if I do an automatic update of TablePress?
Best wishes, Keith
