That was it! I saw that option but had no idea what it even was! Dang. That was a new one to me.

Thankfully, we have a VPN. It just got crazy. Darn hackers. Go away. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Disabling forced FTP credentials for any updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/) * Thread Starter [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/#post-12607212) * Hey! I tried doing that. That was actually one of the first things I tried but it didn’t work either (should have said that), but the only way was with the proper permissions. 🙁 Thanks though! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popup Maker - Boost Sales, Conversions, Optins, Subscribers with the Ultimate WP Popup Builder] Warning: ftp_mkdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-ftp_mkdir-expects-parameter-1-to-be-resource-null-given/) * [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-ftp_mkdir-expects-parameter-1-to-be-resource-null-given/#post-12363115) * Thanks [@fpcorso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fpcorso/)! You totally pinpointed the issue. I think that plugin also has an update. The error went away when I updated the plugin. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Disabling forced FTP credentials for any updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/) * Thread Starter [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/#post-12160758) * Woooow. I apologize. You’re right. I didn’t have the correct user setup across. So PHP does run as `www-data`, but I didn’t put it across the project. Once I changed it, it worked like a champ. Really sorry about this guys! I appreciate the input!

We were using Gitlab for version control and I thought that was helping lock down the plugin updates with permissions. Even completely opening the plugin folder using 777 didn’t work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Disabling forced FTP credentials for any updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/) * Thread Starter [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-forced-ftp-credentials-for-any-updates/#post-12155923) * Hey Steve, thanks for your reply! * I did confirm that www-data had permissions to that folder and all along until the project root. Wouldn’t changing 777 on the plugins take care of any permissions issues? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popup Maker - Boost Sales, Conversions, Optins, Subscribers with the Ultimate WP Popup Builder] Cant customize the themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-customize-the-themes/) * [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-customize-the-themes/#post-10541672) * Ahhh that would make sense. I think we had some funky permission issues too. It’s fixed. That’s all I cared about.

I don’t know if it’s a permissions thing. I’m still digging into it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popup Maker - Boost Sales, Conversions, Optins, Subscribers with the Ultimate WP Popup Builder] Cant customize the themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-customize-the-themes/) * [etadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etadmin/) * (@etadmin) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-customize-the-themes/#post-10271863) * We are having the same exact problem. We have updated to the latest plugin and still can’t get it to look at the customed theme. We even reset the default one too. Help! Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total)
