Unable to Install or Updating Plugins in WordPress

Open thedittmer opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

When I try to add a new plugin, or update a plugin WordPress asks me for FTP credentials. I believe it does this because I do not have the proper permission on the "src" directory. However, I looked and SYSTEM, Administrators, and my user all have full control. Is it possible to update WordPress plugins and install WordPress plugins from WordPress using Wordup CLI?

Are you developing on windows, mac or linux and what is your wordup-cli version? I guess you are using wordup in the "installation" mode, which means that your src folder shows the wp-content folder? In general it should be possible to install or update new plugins or themes.

I’m using Windows. Using the latest version of wordup-cli. I just installed it. Also it is in installation mode.

Thank you. It seems like a bug when wordup is in installation mode. What you could try as a workaround, is to set the FS_METHOD in the wp-config.php, perhaps this works:

wordup wpcli config set FS_METHOD direct
