 * An error occurred while updating BackUpWordPress: The update cannot be installed
   because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent
   file permissions. vendor/symfony/finder/Tests/Fixtures/r+e.gex[c]a(r)s, vendor/

 * However, the plugin shows that it is updated after refreshing the screen
