Hi Darren,

wylug.org.uk runs on a server I manage and it's locked down pretty
strictly, which prevents most wordpress update processes from working.

I've manually updated wordpress and the plugins now, via my ssh access.

I've started moving wordpress installations off this server elsewhere,
where they can do automatic updates so I'll get that sorted for WYLUG
soon! Sorry for the inconvenience.

I couldn't see a problem with updating web content, but it might have
been transient and was fixed by the time I saw it today. Try now and
let me know if you still have problems.

Feel free to email me directly with problems related to this in future
(I'm happy for the discussion being public but I see direct emails
before I see ones to the wylug discuss list).

Thanks,

John.
