Update Failed: Could not create directory. gp-premium/backgrounds/functions

When I tried to update through 'Update plugins' from 1.3.. to 1.4...
I received the message 'Update Failed: Could not create directory. gp-premium/backgrounds/functions'.
Tried a number of times. d/l zip file still no joy.
Searched forum for solution and found - delete old [1.3...] plugin and install new[1.4...] zip file.
Works for me and will hopefully assist any other user who has similar problems.
Cheers Dave
Hi David,
This should help in the future: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/updating-issues/#could-not-copy-file
Hi Leo.
Think this is where I found the info - I dropped my way, to help any one else within the support community, it was more an explanation. As when I searched 'update failed', none that I found gave my problem as detailed.
Dave.
Thanks :)
The plugin solution hasn't been around for that long so just making sure you see it.
Hi, I tried the Windows Compatibility Fix, made a little extra process, but now get error:
Update Failed: Could not create directory.
Previously before the fix, all I got was the error listed in this article:
Update Failed: Could not create directory. gp-premium/backgrounds/functions
Hi there,
can you confirm your install is on a local host?
