Installing Plugin: Which Connection Info Required? (3 posts)

    When I click "install now" when installing a plugin on my wordpress.org blog, it is asking me for connection information: hostname, username and password as well as connection type.

    Whose connection information are they asking for? My server info or the server from which I'm downloading the plugin?

    Please advise, thanks.

    See if you can doing like informed here: http://www.kgarner.com/blog/archives/2009/06/13/direct-auto-update-on-wordpress-2-8/

    In my case, I've just pasted the code on the last line of wp-config.php

    I don't know if the below information is really required, but here is what I informed:

    Host: ftp://name.com.domain

    Login: same as used to access CPanel (ask the service provider if you have any doubt).

    Password:
    same as used to access CPanel.

    It works for version 2.8+, as seen in the site above.
