   I have done a search and not found anyone with the same problem as this.

   One of my blogs everytime I go to updrade the theme or a plugin asks me for connection information. The other 3 all just go straight away and do the upgrade without asking.

   I suspect that it is a setting somewhere that I just cannot find :( Anybody tell me how to fix this as it is just plain annoying.

   TIA

   You could put these constants in your wp-config.php file so you don't have to reenter them each upgrade:
   

   define('FTP_HOST', 'yourftphost.com');
   define('FTP_USER', 'ftp user here');
   define('FTP_PASS', 'ftp password here');

   and some other constants that might be useful
   

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
   define('FS_TIMEOUT', 900);

   See Editing wp-config.php

   MichaelH,

   Thanks for that I will make the changes. But the more interesting question is on the other 3 blogs I have not done this and they go straight in but on this one why do I have to enter the connection information?

   Install the Core Control program and let it tell you what transports are available...

   I have two websites on two different WHM independent servers with godaddy. Each WHM has the most recent wordpress 2.9.2 or whatever. On one server when i installed wordpress everything is fantastic. On the other i get the connection info headache. I checked the packages and all sorts of things. I cannot find any setting in cpanel or WHM that is different. Will the above snippet of code in my config.php make any folders vulnerable? I dont want to change permissions to update themes and plugins, then have to change back again. I want to know how to fix whm/cpanel or whatever my root problem is. Any help?

   Now my site says:
   Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/iva.1.0.5.zip.

   Unpacking the package.

   Could not create directory /home/sarah1/public_html/wp-content/upgrade/iva.tmp
