[WordFence] Can't update WordFence (or several other plugins)

    I’m running WordFence 5.0.6 and can’t update to later version – each time I try I get an error message “Could not copy file. ordfence/lib/IPTraf.php”. I’m having similar issues with three other plugins (special text boxes, shortcodes ultimate, and NextGEN Gallery). I’ve tried updating one at a time, deactivating all plugins, changing theme to 2013, but still can’t get them to update.
    I’m worried because unfortunately it seems that I don’t have any recent backups. I’ve not done any massive changes to the site that I could pin this down to.
    Any help very very much appreciated

  • Manually download them from WordPress, then FTP them to your server. Hopefully things will clear up after that.

    Found the issue – I was over my disk space allocation with my host! Removed some old files and all well now. Thanks for the suggestion though ??

    Why should WordFence be the only plugin that won’t update from dashboard? Why do we have to continue using the FTP every time now?
    As to `disk space allocation with host’ -which host? WordPress or ISP? What old files? Other plugins? What?
