 * hi all.
 * recently on a few of my sites, all plugins that have updates are failing to update
   when i goto wordpress update section.
    it doesnt matter if i do one by one, or
   update in bulk.
 * Note: I can update manually via ftp, but is rather frustrating.
 * When i goto update it comes up with the error – “Update Failed: Undefined”
 * Has anyone else experienced this or know how to make it so plugins can once again
   update.
 * I am on the latest version of wordpress.

 * Hi Josh,
 * I suggest contacting your host. I found the most common reason for this is either
   temp directory that got changed or even file permissions, your host might be 
   a better help here.
 * Have you had a look at [this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors)
   post?
 * Hope my reply helped you today…
