WPAU – WordPress Automatic Update / Upgrade Asking for FTP Information

If your wordpress installation asks for FTP information during a plugin update or installation upgrade, it is most likely a permissions problem.

You can determine if this is the case by

  • Setting permissions of wordpress to 755
  • Changing ownership of the installation to www-data, or whatever local user running the apache / httpd process is

See here for the correct permissions setup of wordpress installations.

No Profile Image on Facebook without the Annoyances

Facebook’s home page works hard to get an image as a profile pic, and can sometimes be quite annoying. Keep the standard facebook image by right-clicking, saving image (of the standard, no pic image), and just re-upload it as your profile pic.

Magic! No more annoyances.
