 * Hi,
 * encountered this error while update:
 * > Redirection: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy
   > some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.
 * What are the permission needed for the update?
 * Thank you.

 * This is not an error caused by the plugin. You probably have some special permissions
   on the plugin files, and will need to reset them to normal.
