WordPress asking for ftp credentials instead of running auto updates
1 Check wp-config.php
- edit wp-config.php, and add to the custom section
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');Without this setting WordPress will always ask for credentials, even if your file permissions are correct.
Next, check file and folder permissions
2 Check permissions of files and directories in de wordpress folder
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chmod 600 wp-config.php
chown www-data:www-data * -R
