    I am trying to update my WordPress. It kept on failing to update to 5.6.2 and now is doing the same to try and update to 5.7. I have tried to disable all my plugins with no luck and also changed permisions on the wp.

    This is the message I get.

    Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/en_ZA/wordpress-5.7.zip…

    The authenticity of wordpress-5.7.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.

    Unpacking the update…

    Verifying the unpacked files…

    Preparing to install the latest version…

    Enabling Maintenance mode…

    Copying the required files…

    Disabling Maintenance mode…

    Could not copy file.: wp-admin/js/widgets/media-video-widget.js

    Installation failed.

    These are my PHP settings;

    PHP version

    PHP 7.4
    allow_url_fopen

    Off
    display_errors

    Off
    memory_limit

    128 MB
    max_execution_time

    90 Seconds
    max_input_vars

    3500 Variables
    upload_max_filesize / post_max_size

    64 MB

    Is there any simple way of getting around this so that automatic updates can take place again? My other WordPress websites are fine

    Hi there, this support forum you’ve posted to assists users with free websites hosted on the WPcom platform. WPcom (where we are ) and WP are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. More information about the differences can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    It looks like you need help with a site using the open source WP software, so you’ll want to head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ where you’ll find documentation and users who have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page.

    Best wishes
