Update WordPress Without FTP

30 Sep Update WordPress Without FTP

To update, upgrade or install plugins on WordPress, sometimes you need to enter your FTP details.

With this quick edit, you can avoid this by just entering a simple line of code!

1. Edit your wp-config.php file

Firstly, using an FTP browser, navigate to your WordPress directory and open/edit the file wp-config.php

2. Add the direct file system access code

Now you will need to add this line of code towards the bottom of the file, just above the STOP EDITING text:

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

Now just save your wp-config.php file and you’re done. You can now update WordPress without FTP.
