Thanks for this – I was struggling with the Auto Update too, and this has solved the problem.

I copied and pasted the text to the .htaccess file as the very last line of text to answer the above question, and that seems to have done it!

You add the lines at the end of your .htaccess file on their own; i.e., not part of any other directive. This should work under any OS as long as you’re using apache, but I only tested it under Linux hosting.

I’m having the same problem. It has caused me a headache.

But where exactly do I put the line of code in the .htaccess fil?

Does this only work with Linux hosting or with MS aswell?

Thanks for posting this. I had issues with upgrading to 2.8.1 and, after the hassle of a manual upgrade, plus tracking down some issues with the new version, I wish I had found this sooner!
