If I upgrade and it absolutely fails to import these types, is a refund possible?

I found this to be the most helpful in overcoming this issue:
https://www.chrisabernethy.com/why-wordpress-asks-connection-info/

However, after doing the chown to the directory (changing owner to www) I still got the connection error page asking for connection info (host, user, pw and type)

I noticed that these fields were showing up auto filled because I had attempted to do this previously. I felt that this information in the database was causing my problem even though I had successfully changed the permissions of the wordpress directory.

I went into the WP database and under the wp_options table near the end I found an entry called “ftp_credentials”. I deleted that, but I also re-chowned the directory after doing that. But after both those things, I was able to do the upgrades without a problem.

I’m having the same issue.

Plugins not being deactivated was the problem for me.

I went into the database via phpMyAdmin and reset the plugin activation via this post from above:

– Connect to your database ( via PhpMyAdmin for example)
– Find the wp_options->active_plugins row
– Edit it, and put:
a:0:{}

This worked for me and i was able to reactivate plugins after this.
