WordPress displays “Connection Information” asking for FTP credentials

WP displays “Connection Information” and a text “To perform the requested operation, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.”

To solve this, add the following line to your wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

If that doesn’t solve the problem you need to check the file access rights for the WordPress installation on the web server.
