    @ipstenu Nope. Nothing. Only errors (anywhere) that I’ve seen are those in my OP.

    @clorith Sure thing. It returned the following output:

    PASS: Your WordPress install can communicate with www.ads-software.com securely.
    PASS: No version control systems were detected.
    FAIL: Your installation of WordPress prompts for FTP credentials to perform updates. (Your site is performing updates over FTP due to file ownership. Talk to your hosting company.)

    Of course, if I include the FTP credentials in my wp-config.php, all conditions are passed.

    So, I went ahead and placed my credentials within wp-config.php and it the update worked. C’est la vie, I guess.

    I immediately removed the credentials from wp-config.php and ran any other plugin/theme updates with the way I’m used to (entering my credentials) – no problem there.

    Hoping 4.1.X will address the issue.

    I did read your post. I was leaving that there for anyone else who may want a Quick Fix Now?.

    Ah. Fair enough ??

    @clorith yes, I tried again, but it’s definitely not that problem. My website is hosted through a university’s web server and I’m one of the very few running WordPress.

    @ipstenu See above answer…I’ve always had to enter FTP credentials; was never a problem for me, and I actually prefer it that way. As to the why, I’m pretty sure it has something to do with how my uni implements its SELinux file permissions and WordPress not having proper access to files. On their server, I’m running PHP 5.3.3 on Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat).

    @macmanx yes, I’m aware of manual install, but please re-read my post.

    And just to clarify, my FTP request screen is looks like this: https://i46.tinypic.com/2q9gp34.jpg (not mine, just a sample – I know it’s an old WP version, but it’s still the same screen)

    Before installing anything to my website, I always go thru this screen and I’m fine with that.

    I’m also having this problem. It seems as though it catches and caches your dashboard view, and then serves that to the users.

    No one can actually use the account though (as far as I have tested), but it is a huge problem because the entire admin bar shows.

    If I Empty All Caches it fixes the problem, but it continues to reappear, even for other logged in users (i.e. one page was loading the dashboard of another user)

    Edit: Looking at the Plugin interface, there is an option to “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” with the warning:

    Unauthenticated users may view a cached version of the last authenticated user’s view of a given page. Disabling this option is not recommended.

    I had it unchecked. Assuming enabling it will fix the problem.
