Unable to install WordPress plugins
I followed this example to set up my wordpress instance.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04
I am unable to install/ update plugins through the WordPress Admin UI. It keeps asking me for the FTP username/ password, and even after I enter those information, the files are still not installed.
I can upload files through the Media however, so it doesn’t seem like a file permissions issues to me.
Does anyone know what are some possible solutions I can try?

After running
chown, you’ll probably need to adddefine('FS_METHOD', 'direct');to wp-config.php to force it to stop using FTP.Thanks. Using
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');did stop the FTP pop-up, but it seems like the file changes didn’t stick.I’d update a plugin, and the UI says it’s updated. Upon refreshing the page, the plugin goes back to the original version before the update. What gives?
