Cannot upgrade plugins after WP 4.4 Upgrade

  • ? have the same issue. I have installed some plugins manually by FTP with an FTP aydogan@….. I have upgraded all plugins from within WP and had no issue.

    Then I have upgraded 4.4 in TURKISH from the WP Dashboard. It did not ask me the ftp account.

    Then I have noticed 3 plugins upgrades. And tried to upgrade. I got the same error as ‘plugin directory cannot be created’ Then I noticed that wp-config file has FTP credentials at the last 3 lines. (Do not ask me why that stuod thing has been done without notice) There FTP user was ozgur@….

    I have deleted those 3 lines. Then I re tried upgradin the plug-ins. When WP asked me the FTP credentials I have entered the one with aydogan@…. It downloaded the plugin, extracted, tried to install but I got the same error…

    What should I do now? Shall I try re-installing the WORDPRESS TURKISH From the DASHBOARD or would it give me a big time problem since it could not create any directories needed by WP CORE? Shall I go for manual upgrade?

    Appreciated if you could support.

    Here is my latest update on this
    – I have changed all directory and files of WP and my files to 777 (Not sure if I needed to do it)

    – I have kept the advice from one of the forum posts (Sorry for the missing name) and renamed the plugin directory to a different name JUST BEFORE ENTERING MY FTP Password at WP Admin. I have used the same FTP Credentials as FTP

    – Plugin created its new directory but not installed totally. It gave some errors that could not open the stream in function.php, etc. And reported that one file was missing so that the plugin was not updated.

    – I have re-upgraded the same plugin, this time without renaming the directory but keeping the one created during the previous upgrade.

    – It worked.

    I have 2 more to try but I have activation codes and many settings for them. So not sure to continue till have an approved solution comes.

    I keep this topic as UNRESOLVED
