Hypershot Update 1.8.3 help?

edited July 2014 in Hypershot Posts: 1
Purchased Hypershot some time ago and set it aside for when I had a chance to work on it.
WP shows I have an update, 1.8.3.
Have followed your instructions below:

"Update theme
As this theme is commercial one, for now we don't provide autoupdate option for theme, as this will lead to easily stealing our theme .
In future this may change, but for now updates are only available on ThemeForest in place where you have downloaded your first version of theme:-)
Although wordpress will inform you about new version of theme, trying to use autoupdate for this theme will end up with error.
When you got zip file with theme, best way to update theme is to use plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/. ( I've done this).

Use of Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades
Upgrading a Theme(copied form plugin page)
Download the latest zip file for your theme.
Log into your WordPress site.
Go to Appearance > Themes.
Click the "Install Themes" tab.
Click the Upload link below the main page tabs.
Select the zip file with the new theme version to install.
Select "Yes" from the "Upgrade existing theme?" option.
Click "Install Now"."

And have gotten the following error messages "Unable to initialize WP_Filesystem. Will not proceed with the upgrade."
and the one in the screen shot attached.

Suggestions as to what may be going wrong are appreciated.
Thanks.

    Probably your server has some strange file restriction or Wordpress broke.

    You will have to do it manually:
    1. Log in to your FTP.
    2. Go to wp-content/themes.
    3. Remove hypershot directory.
    4. From ZIP file from ThemeForest unpack file hypershot_1.8.3.zip.
    5 From this ZIP file unpack hypershot directory.
    6. Upload hypershot to wp-content/themes.
    7. Done:-)

    Hope that helps.

    With regards.
