 * Do you have any defines in wp-config.php that block updates?
 * See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates](https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates)
   for examples.

 * Hi
    I would like to see the file via ftp but (after trying some solution) now
   I cannot download the file!
 * I think to have some permission problem on FTP now…

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
