Do the plugin affect FS_METHOD constant somehow?

    I have the FS_METHOD constant set to ‘direct’ in my wp-config.php.

    When i activate the Redux Framework plugin – one of my other plugins crashes together with the entire site.

    Upon investigation, i can see that the other plugin uses the global $fs_filesystem variable (which i can print using var_dump()).

    If Redux is deactivated – the $fs_filesystem is an object instance of the direct filesystem access method (as expected).
    Upon Redux activation, however – this variable is an instance of the FTP access method and this causes the crash.
    That’s why i suspect the plugin changes the FS_METHOD somehow.
    Any suggestions how to resolve this?

    All my files and dirs are owned as:
    my-user-account:www-data,
    with directories are 755 and files: 644

    The server is running under Debian 12.4, Apache Webserver and php-fpm 8.3.4

    Thanks in advance!

    Redux does not touch the FS_METHOD?constant. I looks like it did back in the 4.1 version and was removed a day later. I wasn’t working on Redux then. I can only surmise it interfered in some manner. Redux does access the wp_filesystem as it has write/read functions to the upload folder. Usage of any other method was frowned upon by the file checked of the .org repo.

    I wouldn’t know how to advise on your WP setup. We tend not to offer such suggestions because of they don’t work, the blame falls on us. It’s a liability thing.

    Good luck.
