    When we try tndex all pdf files, the server throws an error:

    [Wed Apr 01 16:23:25.778484 2026] [php:error] [pid 2016072:tid 2016072] [client 86.94.224.125:56020] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: ftp_fget(): Argument #1 ($ftp) must be of type FTP\Connection, null given in /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:146\nStack trace:\n#0 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php(146): ftp_fget()\n#1 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-content/plugins/webequipe-pdf-search/includes/class-pdf-indexer.php(197): WP_Filesystem_FTPext->get_contents()\n#2 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-content/plugins/webequipe-pdf-search/includes/class-pdf-indexer.php(329): WebEquipe\PDFSearch\PDF_Indexer->index_pdf()\n#3 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-content/plugins/webequipe-pdf-search/includes/class-admin-settings.php(587): WebEquipe\PDFSearch\PDF_Indexer->reindex_all()\n#4 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(341): WebEquipe\PDFSearch\Admin_Settings->ajax_reindex()\n#5 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(365): WP_Hook->apply_filters()\n#6 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-includes/plugin.php(522): WP_Hook->do_action()\n#7 /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php(192): do_action()\n#8 {main}\n thrown in /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 146, referer: https://staging.harmonieoegstgeest.nl/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=webequipe-pdf-search

    The plugin tries ro access the PDF file via FTP is seems? When I place a debug line to print the value of $file_path before the get_contents($file_path) line, the contents of $file_path is:
     /home/websites/harmonie.nl/www/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Opmaak-HN-2026-1.pdf
    which obviously is not a FTP url ?

    Can you please assist?

    Hi Danny,

    Thanks for the detailed report and it really helpful. You’re right about the cause. We’ll also be making an update on our side to improve this and will release a fix soon.

    In the meantime, could you please try adding this to your wp-config.php (if your server allows it):
    define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

    After adding it, please try re-indexing again and let us know how it works on your end.

    Thanks again for flagging this, much appreciated.

    Best regards,
    WebEquipe Team

    Yes, with this setting I can confirm that the error has disappeared.

    Regards,
