How do I enable auto updates in wordpress?

Posted on December 10, 2015

I have configured with serverpilot. Now when ever there is a plugin update in wordpress I have to feed the FTP details which never works. How do I enable the feature which used to be in cpanel. Like clicking the update button will automatically do itself.

Hi,

If WordPress asks you for FTP credentials, it means your file permissions are not correct. Most likely, you accidentally created some of your files as “root” rather than as the user your app runs as which is “serverpilot”.

Take a look here for how to fix permissions issues like this:
