Reinstallation of 4.1 Failed after difficulties with update

  • Hi,

    I am not proficient in wordpress and have just updated it to version 4.1. With the update I started to have problems since the wordpress site would come up twice, one with line by line (no format) buttons followed by the same buttons but formatted normally. I tried to reinstall wordpress 4.1 but this message showed up:

    seems like permission issue.

    try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    – If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
