 * Hi,
    I am running WordPress 4.2.2 with these plugins: Advanced Custom Fields 
   4.4.2 Google Analytics 1.0.6 Google Sitemap by BestWebSoft 2.9.7 mobble 1.4 Ninja
   Forms 2.9.15
 * After installing WordPress 4.2 I am experiencing pretty weird behavior after 
   updating modules. Every time I am trying to update the module removes itself 
   but it is not able to install newer version.
 * When I install plugins manually it works but of course who would do this every
   time some module wants to update?
 * Did anyone experienced something similar? What was your resolution?
 * Thanks in advance for all kinds of help

 * It could be a permissions problem on the server. Try adding this to your active
   theme’s wp-config.php file:
 *     ```
       /** added ftp login credentials */
       define('FTP_HOST', 'ftp.yoursite.com');
       define('FTP_USER', 'Your_FTP_Username');
       define('FTP_PASS', 'Your_FTP_password');
       ```

 * Are you sure that this is secure?
    I can see my wp-config.php in wp-admin’s editor.
