Updating WordPress
I have exactly the same problem as Knowledgegallery when trying to update to version 5.5.1. Can anyone tell me why I this is happening and why I cannot update automatically. I’d rather not do the manual update because my WordPress knowledge is pretty limited and I don’t want to cause a problem with my website.
