I’ve activated auto-update successfully but the actual update process fails with following error message:

Warning: touch(): Unable to create file /tmp/Classico_Responsive_Woocommerce_Wordpress_Theme.zipAWSAccessKeyIdAKIAJYG5ROGJ6X7Z3M6QExpires1437649224SignatureBIyp7HjDryUYDB6FqpfjABUqP0k%3Dresponse-content-dispositionattachment%3B-filename%3Dthemeforest-11024192-classico-responsive-woocommerce-wordpress-theme.tmp because File name too long in /home/hocofab/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 164

The file name is 277 characters which exceeds the Centos/ext3 max of 255 (typical for the majority of unix/linux based systems).

The manual update process for plugins is too onerous, especially for a developer such as myself who is using 8themes themes for all site development. We need the auto update to work.

Hello,

Sorry, but you have to update plugins manually via FTP, just overwrite the existing plugin folder in wp-content/plugins directory.
