But when i try to send a push notification from wordpress plugin, it say “connection failed”. How can i check if the 2195 & 2196 ports are open in my VPS? And if are closed, how can i open them? many thanks

Check out <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-an-ubuntu-and-debian-cloud-server”>How to Setup a Firewall with UFW on an Ubuntu and Debian Cloud Server</a>; although if you did not previously set up a firewall, then it would not be a firewall blocking those ports. Perhaps you have permissions issues. Check the <code>owner:group</code> attributes of your WordPress installation. What’s the output of: <pre>ls -la /path/to/WordPress/installation/</pre> If you see <code>root:root</code> sprinkled in there, execute: <pre>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/WordPress/installation/</pre>
