  I’m getting this 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?

  (I tried manually FTPing in the new version, but I brought down the site and had to restore the backup of the site. Fun stuff.)
