connection information blocked

    I can log into my admin and edit comments… but that’s pretty much it.

    I can’t upgrade, download new theme, add plugins and so on, simply because it doesn’t recognise my connection information, either my login or password.

    I’m stuck… what can I do?

    I found this, can someone translate it for me?

    Problem
    After clicking on “automatic upgrade” you get a dialog box asking for “Connection Information.” And, no matter what you enter, you continue to get errors.

    Solution
    Make sure that your entire wordpress directory is owned by the username under which your Apache server runs. For example, if your server runs as https, and your files live in /var/wordpress do a “chown -R apache.apache /var/wordpress.” Note that you might want to edit some permissions for security purposes, in particular a chmod 640 on wp-config.php, to protect access information to your database.

    Talk to your web host about permissions and send them the text above.
