Description of problem:

Wordpress has has an admin login mode which prompts you for updates necessary to itself, or to any of the plugins or components of itself.  However, when in enforcing mode, SELinux prevents httpd from doing the actions it needs to update itself.  Disabling enforcing mode momentarily allows the sysadmin to let wordpress update itself.  Below are the audit logs seen after disabling enforcing mode, then doing the wordpress update.
