 * Hi!
 * When I ugrade from Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg to spectra, the whole site shuts
   down due to an error:
 * PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: ftp_fput(): Argument #1 ($ftp) must be of
   type FTP\Connection, null given in /www/xxx/htdocs/yyy/wp-admin/includes/class-
   wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:212 
   […]#10 {main} thrown in /www/xxx/htdocs/yyy/wp-
   admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 212
 * This is on PHP 8.1. However, I can install & activate spectra when switching 
   to PHP 7.3. (which of course is not a solution)
 * With PHP 7.3., everything works but I get an error message:
 * File Permissions Needed – Importing patterns, pages, and templates from Design
   Library requires proper file permissions. For guidance on resolving this issue
   and ensuring smooth importing processes, please refer to the accompanying documentation.
 * Guessing from the css-class of this message, this is related to the folder uploads/
   ast-block-templates-json/ which exists and has 777.
 * ” which does not work at all (is not clickable, the url is missing)
 * Please advise,
 * Alex

 * Hi [@faglork](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faglork/),
 * Thanks for getting in touch with us.
 * You can fix the issue by adding the below code in wp-config.php
 * define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’ );
