WordPress asking for my FTP credentials to install plugins

Question

I installed a WordPress blog in my local system. But when I try to add plugins from admin it asks for FTP access. What do I need to configure for WordPress to be able to up

Answer 1

First move to your installation folder (for example)

cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/

Now we’re going to modify your htdocs directory:

sudo chown -R daemon htdocs

Enter your root password when prompted, then finish it out with a chmod call:

sudo chmod -R g+w htdocs
