Problem
You want to update your WordPress installation or plugin automatically, but do want to setup FTP access on your server installation (or your hosting provider does not provide access).
Solution
Add the following line to your wp-config.php file:
define(’FS_METHOD’,’direct’);
WordPress will now update directly without requiring FTP access.
