Romerornd’s solution worked for me too. <br> <br>Can you fix the permissions at droplet creation time for the wordpress app? <br> <br>Apart from that the wordpress app works beautifully.

Just wanted to chime in that romerornd’s solution worked perfectly to update to WordPress 3.7!

I installed WordPress on Ubuntu 12.10 through the applications tab when creating my droplet. The files for the install are stored in: /home/wordpress/public_html
