Thanks, Bryle. That is how I’ll have to do it.

Update: I have figured out that if the UpdraftPlus backup fails, the temp files on the server do not get deleted. In my case, these files have been accumulating over the years in this directory, thus, exceeding my hosting limits and violating the terms of the GoDaddy agreement. I have verified that the backups are on DropBox and deleted the old files from the server. Problem is somewhat solved. Just need to monitor the failed backups and regularly delete the files that remain on the server.

Thanks Steve. I looked at that support page and seems like there is room for human (me) error. I’ll wait until WordPress resolves the issue so it can automatically update.

Thanks for the response. I checked with our hosting service, GoDaddy, and they said it is not a problem with their server, it is a WordPress problem. I’m not confident in doing this manually myself.

I am having the same issue but wondering why updating through the wordpress dashboard tries to download the file with the name: wordpress-5.8-no-content.zip

This is the entire text from the error message screen:

Update WordPress

Downloading update from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/release/wordpress-5.8-no-content.zip…

Download failed.: The checksum of the file (af4ee6d1ba2a052dc661de39c5480895) does not match the expected checksum value (e373c22149dc6e7069ec94450b396b78).

Installation failed.`

Why does this file name have “no-data” in the name when the file on the WP download page does not?

please help!
