 issue.

 that users come to the right place, and don't just find "WordPress
 developers".

 Nice suggestion, sounds better to me!

 Nice suggestion too, sounds better to me!

 This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.

 This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.

 Not so sure about changeing from cannot (future) to was not (past), but
 agree double up of cannot is not preffered.

 Maybe: `The update cannot be installed because some files could not be
 copied. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.`?
