[QUOTE="cielopearly, post: 885, member: 4"] In some cases, you are not able to update/upgrade your [URL='https://wordpress.org/']WordPress[/URL] and plugins to a newer version without providing your FTP connection information. This is a common issue whereby the WordPress system can’t write to your /wp-content folder directly. To solve this issue you need to define the FTP details in your wp-config.php file so WordPress will remember it. Alternatively, you may also provide WordPress with write access to your /wp-content folder by accessing the FTP root file and changing the folder file permission (CHMOD) to 775 rather than the default 755 and 644. There is however an easier way to deal with this; by defining [URL='https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/']constant[/URL], FS_METHOD in your wp-config.php file. This bypasses WordPress’s recurring prompts, and allows auto-updates of your files to happen. And it takes only 1 line of code to do this. (Source: hongkiat) [HEADING=3]1. Open /wp-config.php[/HEADING] Now the first thing you need to do is to open the wp-config.php file from your WordPress root folder (you may access this file from your [URL='https://wordpress.org//download/']WordPress installer[/URL] folder).
