# Update errors

 * I am getting errors attempting to update this theme to 3.2.8, as well as the 
   plugin MailChimp for WordPress. Translations of UpdraftPlus are also failing 
   to upgrade.
 * The recent updates fail, with the message: “An error occurred while updating …:
   Could not create directory.”
 * I haven’t gotten into the quicksand recently, but is this something I’ve done
   or haven’t done.
 * Any ideas appreciated 🙂

 * Hi adieu. Maybe a disk space or permissions issue? Here’s a permissions reference:

 * It’s not a shortage of disk space.
 * Not sure I understand, but does your link refer to Linux? I thought sudo and 
   chown were Linux commands.
 * I’m using Windows 10.

 * Just occurred to me that you are talking disk space with my ISP and the link 
   is server language… I’ll look into it.

 * Yes, the disk space was full. And the server is Linux 🙂
 * Back to normal for the moment.
 * Thanks for the help, bdbrown.
