    Hello!

    I’m trying to update my 2.8.1 WordPress blog automatically. My FTP details have recently changed. How can I edit the connection settings using the WordPress admin panel?

    Thanks

  • When you try to update a plugin does it ask for the FTP information?

    Note: you can put the FTP user and password information in your wp-config.php so you don’t always have to answer those prompts. See Editing wp-config.php for info on that. Here’s some examples:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
    define('FTP_HOST', 'yourdomain.com.com');
    define('FTP_USER', 'myftpuser');
    define('FTP_PASS', 'mypassword');
    define('FS_TIMEOUT', 900);

    Note the first and last lines are for example sake just in case.

    There’s also the option_name = ftp_credentials in your wp_options table that could edited. Or guess you could delete it to force that information to be requested again.

    It asked me once, but now my ftp details have changed. It’s good to know I can change them via the config file. Thanks for your help!

    ok, so I have decided to accept the fate of having to put password in. However, I have tried adding the define from above and a slew of other fixes… If I try to delete something the page just sits there forever.

    Whats up with the fail. Does this all revolve around a server thinking the owner is xx? GOd this sucks
