I just had the same problem on 2-15-2016
How many people have gotten Courseware to work with BuddyPress 1.7 using the workaround recommended by AlEstrada above in this thread? @boone can you let folks know if you have any idea about this fix getting formally incorporated into Courseware?
Given all the problems with security holes last year in earlier WordPress versions, I would expect better documentation in the Codex about how to do this correctly. One friend who has been a systems administration for 15 years took a quick look and said that FTPS option is broken.
The automatic upgrade is so convenient, but everybody I know who is vey experienced is concerned about security and tells me to just use SFTP and manually do upgrades.
The link referenced above not longer works:
