Question
Can't Install Or Update Wordpress Plugins
I’ve checked around the web quite a bit for a solution to this, but despite a lot of people having the issue, as well as there being answers, nothing seems to work for me. For whatever reason, I can’t install, or update plugins. When I attempt to, I’m met with an ftp login on the Wordpress page, which from my understanding means that my persmission or owner is wrong.
I’ve tried:
-Setting my settings on wp-content to 777 (temporarily of course)
-sudo chown -R myuser:www-data /var/www/anightinburlington.com/public_html/*
Neither of those worked, and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’ll be here all day, speakers loud, email notifications ready - if anyone could help, I’d be more than thankful!

So I double-checked, and triple-checked my settings, and all permission / owners / etc are proper. I added my custom port (which I know works due to ftp) to the wp-config file, and I followed the rest of the tutorial / comments to the detail. I even tried deleting my keys, and making new ones - nothing works.
I’m going insane trying to figure this out. Is there anything else that could stop this from working? My server block location settings? I’m completely out of ideas, and I absolutely need this fixed. I’ve spent an entire day without luck, and I’m fried / frustrated.
