Update Failed: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to…

So I have been getting this error when it comes to updating the plugins on my wordpress site and its starting to get quite annoying. ‘Update Failed: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.’

I have tried using the WP security add-in to automatically fix the stand out stuff and it did come back with some items to be set correctly but alas it didn’t fix the issue.
I have also reset all permissions through FileZilla, directories to 755 and files to 644 but it doesn’t seem to have helped the issue.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I went through the process detailed here https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/file-permissions/
