Well, there are basically two solutions you can follow one of it which are: by changing your WordPress directory ownership or by editing wp-config.php file. In this article I’ll show you how to fix WordPress asking for FTP information when installing or updating a plugin / theme on Webuzo control panel by simply editing your wp-config.php file.
Prerequisites
- A working VPS / cloud VPS with at least 512MB RAM. See: Digital Ocean, Ramnode, Atlantic or these recommended vps providers.
- Install Webuzo free control panel on it and do some basic tasks.
- Also install WordPress on your Webuzo server.
- A cup of tea and biscuits if you may.
