    i had problems with the previous wordpress, so had to deleted and up load it again… i can log in fine, but as soon as i want to change a theme or add widgets, it asks for my FTP Hostname or details. I’ve entered it, and it tells me :”FTP hostname is required”

    I’m so fed up with WP! Please help!

    URL?

    And have you tried:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    If it can’t be solved with the technique above, some users have added this to the config.php file.

    /*** FTP login settings ***/
define(“FTP_HOST”, “localhost”);
define(“FTP_USER”, “yourftpusername”);
define(“FTP_PASS”, “yourftppassword”);

    Talk to your host. They should be able to help you with this.

    No, it isn’t related to the server, but they can give you the information you need to put in for the FTP hostname.

    You did substitute your real info into the code, right? And you did upload/save the new config.php file?

    Had to ask . . . several times I have made changes and not uploaded them to the server.

    Is your host GoDaddy?

    lol, yes i did,

    Quick Question: If i put a number into the hostname section, it threw it out, so replaced it with http://ftp.babybargains.co.za… will this make a difference

    i appreciate your help!
