 * Hello. I wanted to update WordPress and I got the following message: “The update
   could not be installed because some files could not be copied. This is usually
   due to inconsistent file permissions.”
 * I reconfigured all the permissions to 775 and 644, in case any had been modified.
   The error was not resolved.
 * I don’t know what I could do to solve the problem. I can update plugins without
   a problem, it is only WordPress itself that I cannot update.
