Thank you Anshu! I must admit that I didn’t know how to do this, but when I contacted my web host this time and sent your instructions they had the update done within minutes.
I only hope I will be able to do the auto updates again in the future. I am very comfortable in the WordPress dashboard, but the coding is something I need to learn. The tech support at my web host said I may need to change a setting in my wp-admin page, so we’ll see what happens when the next update is released.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me!
