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.
