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!

Hi there,
Hopefully this isn’t still and issue for you, but I recently came across the same problem…
In my case my permissions where correct.
The fix for me is to add a line into wp-config.php, adding the following fixed it all. define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);
Hope that helps someone in the future.

I had the same problem, I was selecting FTPS (I was pretty sure it was correct), so I tried SSH2 without authentication keys and it worked.
