Incredible. That did it!

Thanks, Puma.

Looks like you’re getting closer.

That last error you’re getting looks like a permissions issue. Try running chmod 777 on the wp-content directory then try the upgrade again. Make sure to change your permissions back afterward.

I’ll try defining the those FTP variables and post back here.

It looks like this issue is actually occurring for the core update as well as for the plugins (https://cl.ly/image/292R2c37152y). It could be a server issue, but I’m not sure what.

I have not found a solution to this yet. The WordPress install has just moved to a new server and the issue is persisting.

I’m considering just doing a manual update but would really like to be able to get the auto updates working.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Jarret, no special setup with this install of WP. I have read lots of people mentioning that they were receiving errors that would state something like…

Could not create directory.: /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/...

Not sure why its attempting to create the root html directory either. It’s leaving me stumped.
