Sometimes Pair is nice and will do this kind of thing for you! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-1102032 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 15:24:17 +0000 blw911 1102032@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Can any give a step-by-step HOW TO on this. I'm also hosting with PAIR but am not smart enough to figure this out without some more help. :)</p> <p>Sure be nice if I could get it to work though. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-1001792 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 08:37:24 +0000 benhays 1001792@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Very happy to find this here, thanks for the help! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-1000814 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 03:16:07 +0000 lee317 1000814@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This is great! Thanks! I was able to get it to work by creating an additional ftp login for wordpress within my pair.com account and making the default dir for this login as my wordpress root dir. Is there another way to do this without having a special ftp login for wordpress? Can you specify the directory somewhere? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-982755 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:51:56 +0000 buddha trance 982755@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>mahodder,</p> <p>thank you so much for this!<br /> I am also using Pair.com, and was losing my mind trying the automatic upgrade, spinning for hours on end... then found this thread.</p> <p>I emailed support because of a missing directory, they responded within minutes... I just love this hosting service</p> <p>Now, the upgrade works without a glitch! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-899234 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 04:38:18 +0000 mahodder 899234@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Well I got Wordpress 2.7 auto updates working at Pair.com for anyone else that is hosting Wordpress sites there the instructions are below.</p> <p>After you follow the instructions on this Knowledge Base Article automatic upgrades and plugin download / installs work great!</p> <p><a href="http://www.pair.com/support/knowledge_base/authoring_development/system_cgi_php-cgiwrap.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pair.com/support/knowledge_base/authoring_development/system_cgi_php-cgiwrap.html</a></p> <p>In order to use the HTTP updates vs the FTP, Wordpress has to have the same access to your files as your FTP user. In this case PHP-cgiwrap allows the PHP scripts to run under my username, which enabled the HTTP updating! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-898849 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:38:10 +0000 mahodder 898849@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217411#post-898383 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:54:47 +0000 mahodder 898383@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Is there any steps / settings I can try to turn on the automatic plugin installing / core updating if the FTP method is defaulting which I assume is because it detects the host is not compatible. </p> <p>I'm currently hosting with Pair.com and have a decent amount of access to change things such as php settings etc. I just need to know what to look for / change.</p> <p>The settings that Wordpress checks to determine if it turns on the easy method or FTP method would probably be a good starting spot, anyone know / know where I could find these? </p>
