I get this error trying to update:
Oppdateringen feilet: Kunne ikke kopiere fil. gp-premium/backgrounds/functions/js/generate-upload-control.js
English:
Update failed: Could not copy file. gp premium / backgrounds / functions / js / generate-upload-control.js
Some help please? =)
Hi there,
Can you try manual update? https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/updating-add-ons/#manual-update
Yea, this looks like a server configuration issue.
Your file permissions are most likely messed up - you might want to contact your hosting and ask them to look into it.
For now, manually updating will definitely do it :)
I am hosting the file the website myself :) What can I do?
Windows ISS 8.5
Folder is not on C drive but has administrator rights.
2012 server
Ah that makes sense, these permission errors happen all the time with WordPress and Windows servers.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about Windows servers to have a solid answer, but if you Google "wordpress could not copy file windows server" you'll see it's a pretty common thing, and you might find a solution that you can implement.
Let me know :)

Haven't tried WordPress on IIS / Server 2012, but NTFS Permission issues can be investigated using ProcMon usually.
Thanks, Ramesh!
