Update wants ftp access

  • Willem, your WordPress does not have writing permissions in the case of MailPoet’s folder.

    Maybe a change was done by your host.

    Sorry, I should have reported here that after my original post the same problem emerged with other plugins, on multiple WP blogs I am involved with, at multiple hosting providers. So it is not a MailPoet specific problem.
    Something must have changed in a WP update after 4.3 . I have seen several solutions on this and other forums, but none of them is undisputed and my knowledge of Unix server systems is too limited to judge.
    A manual download and install of 2.7.1 did work without my settings and newsletters getting lost.
