So, I'm trying to update Wordpress to the latest version. The first thing that happens when I click "update now" is it asks me to enter my FTP password, since it says it needs verification from my host. After enter the info and clicking "proceed" it returns this error;
The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
Installation Failed

I understand about file permissions within the 'wp-content' folder. Those are correct within the file manager folder on my host. But it DOES say wp-admin above, and I don't know what to do about THAT.
Does anyone here have any suggestions?
P.S... I've also explored installing the update manually...but I'd prefer to do it the 'regular' way.
