4.2.1 Won't update ~ failure ~ cannot create directory

  • Not exactly which version I’m currently on.

    I have a few issues and I’m wondering it’s to do with my host awesome account. Do I need more storage?

    – try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    – If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.

    I can’t even backup so I’m going to add more storage first and then try and back up.
