Package: wordpress
Version: 3.0.5+dfsg-0+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The default wordpress installs that ships with Debian works fine for uploading
images
(after following the work arounds described in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546292#29
at least)
but it chokes when trying to install themes (and I guess also plugins)
requiring FTP
access. As per #311821, FTP access makes no sense, as the package is installed
as root.
However, according to this comment
http://aparnam.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/wordpress-asking-for-ftp-usernamepassword-while-installing-plugin/#comment-84
all it is needed for themes and plugins to work is to add
define(‘FS_METHOD’,'direct’);
to the wp-config.php
Please consider changing the wp-config.php shipped with Debian to include that
line.
Thanks,
P.
