WordPress asks you for your FTP details if you want to run Automatic Updates

dear community,

WordPress asks you for your FTP details if you want to run Automatic Updates/Upgrade Plugins – what to do to stop this!? in this thread i want to describe what to do if WordPress asks you for your FTP details if you want to run Automatic Updates/Upgrade Plugins – what to do to stop this!?

I run wp for more than 3 years now: In some cases, we are not able to update/upgrad either the WordPress and the plugins to a newer version without providing the FTP connection information. In other words – it fails – it does not succeed. To be frank – I have pulled my hair – and have read hundreds of help pages.

I have found out that this is a common issue whereby the WordPress background code system can’t write to the /wp-content folder directly. In other words – we have to take care for this processes.

Some folks suggested an quick fix and a hack: i want to share the insights – i want to discuss if you have made similar experiences and i would love to know what you have done to solve the issues.

We need to do some checks to make sure – what goes on our sever: – in the folliwing i will share the ideas that may help to fix the issues. I want to share ideas bout checks:

Step 1.: The first check is to make sure whether on the server the module SuPHP is enabled or not in the server You can do so by using the following command for your Controll Panel on the server: Please run this code: [note that is only a little code – but it helps us a lot]

=============
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current
=============

You did it: you have made some progress – hey then youre happy.

Step 2: You run on Plexk or some kind of Directadmin control panel, then you have to make sure to do some other checks: check by putting the following code lines in phpinfo.php file or info.php file in the document root of any domain.

Do like so – just run this code:

==============
<? phpinfo(); ?>
==============

Step 3: If you have some special server conditions then we need to do the following: If on your server the SuPHP is not enabled then you have to make sure to enable it. I can promise that this helps you a bit further. Just give it a try…
