 * I am experiencing the following error message when trying to update: Warning:
   copy(/homepages/18/d335365933/htdocs/app335365949/wp-admin/includes/update-core.
   php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /homepages/18/d335365933/htdocs/
   app335365949/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 200
 * I then try to manually update. Unpack the zip file and all that shows up are 
   a lot of .php files that I have no clue what to do with. I have Dreamweaver but
   have never used it. Please help. Thank you!
