    @skalanter the issue is resolved as long as the www-data complete ownership is fine. I think however that Ocean WP should be able to manage ftp installations as maybe they are common. I don’t know. I just report.

    Thank you for the help!

    Hi Shahin, thank you for the reply.
    WP installation is completely new on my own cloud server. WP is the latest version and downloaded from WP website.
    I have php 8.1.2.
    OceanWP is installed from the WP appearence->themes interface.
    Changing the php.ini file as suggested does not resolve the problem unfortunately.

    In the end it seems to be a permission problem. With my username and corresponding group as owners of the WP folder, WP asks me for the FTP credentials in order to install themes and plugins and this is seems to be a problem for OceanWP. If however I set user and group ownership to www-data (which is the apache server user used by WP), the transfer method becomes direct, and all Ocean WP themes and plugins work good now.

    Strangely this doesn’t happen with my username as user owner and www-data as group owner with 775 on folders and 664 on files.
