I have attempted several times to update the Akismet plugin from 3.2 to 3.3 and it continually fails.
Here is the transcript of the install attempt:
Updating Plugin Akismet (1/1)
Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.3.3.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Installing the latest version…
Removing the old version of the plugin…
Plugin update failed.
An error occurred while updating Akismet: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions. .htaccess.bak
I have contacted my hosting service and we can’t find anything wrong with file permissions. What do I need to do to get the update to go through?
