  My site won’t automatically update and every time I try to manually update to 6.5 I get this response:

  The authenticity of wordpress-6.5-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.

  I am also not able to install a backup plugin like Duplicator and I can’t update my theme. I am currently on 5.9.9. I’m not tech savvy but I’ve never had any problems with the site before. Can you help?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m getting the same error. :/

  Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-6.5-new-bundled.zip…
  
  The authenticity of wordpress-6.5-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.
  
  Unpacking the update…
  
  Could not create directory.
  
  Installation Failed

  I was also having issues with updating all plugins. WP was asking for FTP creds on all updates. I added a line of code to my wp-config file as well as changed the permissions to the wp-content folder (via FTP, FileZilla) hoping that would resolve the issues.

  //**
  1)Adjust the rights to the /wp-content folder via FTP client and change the permissions to 775 instead of the standard 755 and 644 rights.
  
  2) The easier way: update determining method in the wp-config file. The most simple method however is to modify the wp-config.php file and define the update method using a constant variable called FS_METHOD. Open the wp-config.php file in the root folder on your WordPress Hosting and write down the following code:**\
  
  define ( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct');
  

  

  Alas, WP is still throwing errors when I try to update. Why WordPress, why?
