Install wordpress plugins and updates without FTP-access

Do you have a wordpress site or blog and are tired to always specify your FTP credentials or if you not are able to have any FTP server on your host. This solution will help you with both these problem.

The solution is to defining constans (read more here if you want to know more) in your wp-config.php file.

Open your wp-config.php file, located in the root folder of your web site. Add the following line at a new raw in your wp-config.php file:

define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’);

After this change you never will be prompted to add some FTP credentials in the future when you want to install or upgrade some plugins or themes.

If you still have any problems with the downloading or installation phase after this change, your probably have some problems with the permissions in your web root folders.
