 * Having a problem when using define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ssh2’ ) in the config.php causes
   a crash. Have you seen this?

 * Hi [@appraiser6524](https://wordpress.org/support/users/appraiser6524/),
 * Thank you for using Visualizer, and I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties 
   you encountered.
 * Does the issue occur only when the Visualizer plugin is active, or Visualizer
   can’t be updated when this line is added to the wp-config.php file?
 * Currently, we are not aware of such a compatibility issue with Visualizer. You
   can also check that the code shared doesn’t use stylized quotes when adding it
   to the config file. You can copy-paste the following snippet.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       define( 'FS_METHOD', 'ssh2' );
       ```
   
 * In case the problem persists after that, you can make sure the ssh2 PHP extension
   is available on the server where your website is hosted. Your hosting provider
   can help to check this if needed.
 * I hope this will help.
