You do not have sufficient permission to manage options.

This exact text does not appear in WordPress Core. However, I found it in the PowerPress plugin. Do you happen to use that? If so, you should contact their support forum for clarification: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/powerpress/

I’m not sure what you mean by “AdSense Auto Codes.” I can’t find a plugin with that name, and I can’t find anything about it online at all.

I have taken the codes out of the plugins that I have

Am I understanding this correctly – that you’ve modified the code of plugins that you use yourself, but that weren’t developed by you? I would advise against doing that, since the developers would then no longer be able to provide you with support.

If you have a problem with a plugin, contact its support team.

By the way, I can’t find anything in the WordPress repository regarding the two lines you mentioned. If they’re commercial plugins, please contact their support.

And aside from that, do you have a specific example of some code you want to get rid of?

I wouldn’t recommend that. You already had images assigned to the categories. The plugin you’ve been using so far assigned those images to categories in a specific way. You can’t just use any other plugin to reuse those images – you have to find the right one.

By the way, it’s also possible that your theme has added this functionality. What specific updates have you installed most recently? WordPress? Plugins? Themes?

Thanks for this detailed analysis. I tried to reproduce it on my end. The HTTP response is identical to yours, including the content-md5 value.

Then I also saved the file locally. In your test, it apparently returns the correct MD5 there as well. I did it differently, but I got the same result. That’s because WordPress uses md5_file() to return the MD5 of the downloaded file (see https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/includes/file.php#L1382(. So I simply used this:

<?php
var_dump(md5_file(‘wordpress-7.0.4-partial-3.zip’));

saved as a file and then ran it:

> php test.php
string(32) "6ae4a31d00882ee697475c2601e7006d"

Since you’re getting the correct result there as well, the question is why WordPress is coming up with the wrong value during the actual update. The expected MD5 is correct, but the one calculated by your project from the downloaded file is not.

Are you using any security plugins? Or is there a security tool in your hosting environment that could be changing the value?

Have you checked to see if there’s enough storage space on your hosting account? Also check under Tools > Site Health to see if any issues are listed there.

Since this is a security update, you could also quickly install it manually as described here: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/updating-wordpress/#manual-update

Also check under Tools > Site Health to see if there’s any information there about missing permissions or full disk space.
