delete plugin requiring "connection information"?

    Hello,

    I just tried deleting several different plugins and each time I get a request
    to fill out my “connection information” giving my ftp details.

    I’ve been using WP for years and I’ve never seen this before.

    Is this legit? Why, all of a sudden, am I required to do this? Something new
    in 4.1.1? (and how do I stop this automatic update of WordPress?!!!!).

    Thanks!
    Rob

    Well – that didn’t work! lol

    I do the re-install, under the update screen, enter my ftp
    credentials – and I get a blank screen. Only the top bar and the
    left sidebar show up.

    Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version of WordPress?

    This particular site is a testing site…so I don’t care if things
    go missing…although it would be good to be able to do a downgrade
    without losing stuff!

    sorry, beyond me on the downgrades. only way i’ve ever done it is by restoring from backups

    I have a backup of my production site – but not this site – which was shortsighted…

    Okay Bernbe I appreciate all your help!!!

    Going to close this up as it’s looking like a corruption of something somewhere…or I’m just dealing with too many issues for one forum question 🙂
