Activate plugin without ftp

    If I try to activate this plugin, it asks me for FTP credentials.

    Why does this plugin need this? Why can’t it just store the files on the server or in the DB like most plugins?

    I don’t have an ftp server exposed externally or locally. Can I still use this plugin?

    Hello maltfield,

    Have you edited the “wp-config.php” file by any chance and defined “wp_filesystem”, “FS_METHOD”?

    If so and if you use “ftpext” method for FS_METHOD, it may ask for FTP credentials.

    We strongly recommend “direct” for FS_METHOD (which is the WordPress default).

    *The term about ‘FS_METHOD’ is in English, though, there are still some sentences in Japanese. I’m sorry it seems to take time to reflect the translation more than I thought.
