I've been working on my friend site and he has some bugs con Wordpress due to running an old version, however, he cannot log in to Wordpress because of the error, so the easiest way is to download the latest version and replace all files.
So what I usually did was download the latest WP version (wordpress.zip) and unzip on DirectAdmin which would unzip on /public_html/wordpress when the mean site is on /public_html.
So I browse to /public_html/wordpress select all files and click on "move/copy" and select to move to "public_html" however, only files from the main folder "public_html/wordpress/" are copied, any of the folders inside the "wordpress" folder are copied and it flashes a lot of errors while doing to.
So for example "/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/" is not copied to "/public_html//wp-content/", not even when I click on "replace" option on File Mananger, however, if I go to "/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/" click on all files inside and click on move/copy to "/public_html/wp-content/" it does work, however, it does not move either "/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins" to "/public_html//wp-content/plugins" as it displays errors to, it only moves the only index.php file on the "wp-content", if I want to move plugins would need to make the same things each time, folder to folder.
Is anyone facing the same issue?
