Wordpress asking for FTP credentials
If you are prompted to enter your FTP credentials when you try to install or update a plugin or theme in the WordPress admin, it is due to a specific setting in the wp-config.php file. Follow the steps below to prevent WordPress from displaying this FTP message.
- Connect to your hosting account with FTP or File Manager .
- Find the folder with your WordPress files and open the wp-config.php file.
- At the bottom of the wp-config.php file, above the line that says
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */, add the following lines of code:define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0755); define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0644); - Save the updated file.
- In a browser, it reloads the WordPress dashboard page.
You can now update or install plugins and themes without being prompted for FTP credentials.
