    Yes that seems to fix it.

    Yes it messes with any screen that has ajax in it. On example is the plugin backup buddy doesn’t want to do a manual backup because it uses ajax to change the screen.

    Do to the security required I can not give anyone admin access to this wordpress install or server.

    Your use of the Filesystem API is what causes this problem. One my local machine running wamp it says it is updating the files but they are never written too. In the server highly secure server environment it defaults to ftp no matter what the permissons are to the directories or files you are trying to update. If you look at wordpress code they don’t use the filesystem API to update the .htaccess file when you save your permlinks. It is only used in the situation of wordpress updates. That makes sense. The work around I found is to for the FS_Method to direct in the wp-config.

    You could do it in your code also. You should only ever need direct when updating the css files. You can still check for proper write access.

    I’m not loading a plugin that hasn’t been updated in over 4 years. The direct writing method isn’t disabled. I can go to permalinks and it will update my .htaccess file. I have a security plugin that can update the .htaccess file and the wp-config file. Your plugin is the only one having problems writing to files.

    Then something isn’t working right. I tried change the rights on those files to 777 on them. I also made the server system user the owner of them and it is still prompting me for ftp credentials. I did the same things I would do to the .htaccess file if I wanted wordpress to be able to change it directly and I am being prompted for ftp credentials

    This doesn’t really make sense to me. Why would it need to use the Filesystem API like updating plugins and themes. Why wouldn’t work more like the media library to create a file. It really shouldn’t need FTP credentials to write a file out.

    Not to mention in trying to track this down for what file needed the permissions changed and tried on a local machine setup and it doesn’t appear to change any files not a single had the modified stamp changed.
