    Hi there

    I've been relocating (renovating, selling and relocating house) over the past few months and I haven't logged into my WP admin for a bit.

    It's states there's a Genesis update and to ensure that it's updated before the new WP update is performed.

    When I click on the link to update Genesis it states the following:

    you do not have sufficient permissions to update themes for this site.

    Does this mean I have to change the file attributes via FTP to 666 (read, write) etc? Or does it mean something else?

    Thanks so much

    Fixed it, found a tutorial online by a guy who specializes in this stuff...

    I went into the Role / User Capabilities and discovered "update themes" wasn't checked.
    So I selected it and the update went through.

    Warm regards
    Mandy
