Hi @sachi8220

The error usually occurs when the following code is missing from your wp-config.php file;

Try to add the code in wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

Regards,
Adnan

Hi Adnan,

Thanks for replying! I already added this code at the end of the wp-config.php file. But still I am getting the same error.

If you still getting this error. Give write permissions to your WordPress directory in recursive as

NOTE. For security, revoke these permissions once you install a plugin.

Are you using MAMP or similar? Or default OSX Apache?

I have tried everything above and I can’t find a solution. when I add define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’); Could not fully remove the plugin akismet/akismet.php. I get this error and nothing fixes the actual issue. Can you help me? This just started happening with Xampp and wordpress. I just updated Mac and I start getting this issue is so frustrating. I added permissions literally tried everything on the internet related to this issue and nothing fixes it.
