Update Failed

@keithhulstaert This issue is caused by incorrect file permissions on your server (rather than being a problem with the plugin itself). WordPress isn’t able to properly access its own plugins folder, and as a result, can’t put the updated plugins files in there.

Please check this article. It can help you to solve the issue:

If you don’t have the right to set file permission, please contact your web hosting provider.

Please let me know if that helps.

Thank you for your response. Changing the permissions did not make a difference. I ended up manually uploading the new version directly via FTP. It now works.

@keithhulstaert Most probably, it is caused by an incorrect ownership issue of the WordPress directory.

Are you on shared hosting? If yes, please contact your web hosting company. They have control over it. Otherwise, if you are on a VPS, what is your web server? Apache or NGINX?
