• An old chestnut I am afraid.

    I have very limited skills.
    I am running WordPress in Google Cloud Services (GCS) provided by GCS.

    Since the update to 4.5.3 I have not been able to upgrade beyond this version.

    Using the Bitnami forum I have been told backup, create a new install, restore.
    This would be fine if I had the skills to do this, I do not.
    The instructions provided would quite clear to someone who understood what was being conveyed, unfortunately not to me.

    I am sure there is an easy route to resolve this with step by step instructions. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    This is a error report I have received.

    WordPress site: http:// FAILED: WordPress failed to update to WordPress 4.7.1
