[Resolved] Could not copy file – when trying to update Types to 3.0.1
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user is trying to update their Types plugin but they are getting errors.
Solution:
In this case I would recommend a manual install by download the plugin from our downloads page and upload it using ftp. https://toolset.com/account/downloads/

I am trying to: update Toolset Types from 2.3.2 to 3.0.1
I get this error message:
Could not copy file. (types/vendor/toolset/types/embedded/locale/types-vi.mo)
I then try to manually upload by deleting the plugin folder at wp-content/plugins/types. Then, downloading the Types plugin zip file from wp-types.com/account/downloads, and installing it in wp-admin using Plugins > Add New
I then get the message.
The link you followed has expired.
Please try again.
I've tried numerous times, but just can't seem to update types.
I tried to log in using FTP to try uploading the plugin manually but the ftp isn't working.
Would you mind checking for me and let me know if it works?
I was looking for the wp-config.php file to enable the wordpress debuggingbut it doesn't seem to be there in the directory.
The reason is because I uploaded the types plugin but I got an error 500 the moment I enabled it so I wanted to enable the wordpress debugging to see if I could figure out whats wrong.
Actually no as all I did was to upload the plugin manually and it work.
If the upload is incomplete or anything happens during the upload there could be a fatal error when you activate it, which is what happened to me as the upload was complete.
