Libre 2 cannot be updated, even when it’s prompted

    Theme Libre 2 cannot be updated.

    On my test site (copy of my official site) I was able to update Libre 2 to version 2.2.8. However, on my official site I have version 2.2.6, and WordPress tells me to update it to version 2.2.8, but I cannot do it.

    If I try to do the update from the “WordPress Updates” page, it just gets stuck to “…Enabling Maintenance mode… Updating Theme Libre 2 (1/1)”, and it’s still stuck even after an hour.

    If I try to do the update from the “Themes” page, it states “Update failed: Download failed. Forbidden”

    What’s wrong? Please, any solution?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    This sounds like a permissions issue.

    The “Download failed. Forbidden” error message suggests there might be a permissions issue on your server. Please ensure that your WP-content directory has the proper permissions (typically 755 for directories and 644 for files).

    You could also try to manually update the theme:

    • Backup your site before proceeding.
    • Download the latest version of the theme from https://wordpress.com/theme/libre-2
    • Connect to your website using FTP or your host’s file manager and navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ directory.
    • Rename your current libre-2 theme directory to something like libre-2-backup.
    • Upload and extract the new libre-2 theme directory into the /wp-content/themes/ directory.
    • Ensure the file permissions are correct after uploading the new theme files (755 for directories and 644 for files).
    • Login back into your WordPress admin panel and see if the theme is updated.

    Hope this helps!
