 * In my plugins it highlights some as automatically upgradeable. when I click this
   I get a asked for ‘connection information’, namely hostname, username and password.
 * What are these? I’m using the details I put in the config for the database, but
   it keeps rejecting them.
 * ???

 * Hi,
 * These are the FTP connection details to your wordpress hosting account. You need
   to provide this details in order to complete the upgrade process.
 * Thanks,
