Hi Oli,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks so much for your report!

A plugin conflict or the file system may cause the problem. Have you already tried deactivating all your plugins? If the problem persists, try this:

It’s not a plugin conflict.
With
if ( ! defined( ‘FS_METHOD’ ) )
define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’ );
added to wp-config.php, it’s OK.

Thanks a lot.
