Hey Tim,
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I am currently using version 8.8.6.3 and I created the folder wp-content/uploads/podpress_temp with the permissions set to 755. I still get the same error on update. I am currently look through the php files (but not modifying them) to see if there anything I can find that might be the issue.
Thanks,
Ndlela
