I run a virtualmin setup with 50+ WordPress and Drupal websites, since today for some reason I can’t seem to update drupal modules or delete wordpress plugins without providing SSH/FTP creds.
the error is;
Connection Information
To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP or SSH credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.
I have no idea what is going on… I have check file permissions, but that looks fine to me.
Anyone has encountered this before?
I have seen the workaround by adding this line to wp-config.php.
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);
But I’d like to find the root cause and address that instead.
