    I cant upgrade plugins from certain mainwp child.
    I’ve noticed that mainwp says that cannot write the folders, but the folders have full write and read access (777)

    How can I debug this issue?

    PS: I’ve found that when I go into “connection details” this error appear

    #0 /wp-content/plugins/mainwp-child/class/class-mainwp-helper.php(115): MainWP\Child\MainWP_Helper::check_dir()

    I think I’ve found the problem

    link property is not being initialized from WP_Filesystem_Base (WP_Filesystem_FTPExt Class), therefore methods like ftp_nlist and ftp_mkdir are receiving null for the first parameter.

    Essentially, at the moment that $wp_filesystem in file wp-content/plugins/mainwp-child/class/class-mainwp-helper.php, line 145 it is NOT initialized, (you can trace it down to see that is NULL at that moment):

    $wp_fielsystem->link

    In my case, I’m using ftpext for FS_METHOD and I’m willing to use it for security reasons

    Solution/Conclusion?

    I think you cannot simply just call global $wp_filesystem, it must be initialized before being used.

    Please review this KB Article Required FS_METHOD

    If that doesn’t help please open a support ticket.

    According to the code, FS_METHOD ftpext is checked during the checkings so technically it was compatible at some point and now is legacy code?

    FS_METHOD direct is too unsafe for my sites.

    Hi @sirlouen, at the moment, the ‘direct’ FS_METHOD is required.
