I've got an XAMPP on my mac, after that I install wordpress on it. Now I want to connect to it through ftp, but when I connecting to ftp:\localhost I see files from XAMPP start page only and no files from wordpress.
What should I do?
Go to the installed directory of XAMPP and go to the directory htdocs.
There is a index.html file. Delete this file.
OR
try to type in your browser
ftp:\localhost\wordpress\

Good day! Why is it that I am not able to update my plugins in my Wordpress Website.
In my FTP File I have already set my plugins folder to 755 then configured my wp-contents to 755. In my wordpress Site Health, this is what is written in File Permission
The main WordPress directory Writable
The wp-content directory Writable
The uploads directory Writable
The plugins directory Writable
The themes directory Writable
I have done everything written in this site and still I can't update any of my plugins. I don't know what is wrong anymore or what should I do.
I am using CWP, with WordPress 5.5.1 and PHP version 7.4.10
One way to solve this problem, trying to change the FTP permissions by the “wp-config.php” file.
There're some steps to fix “Installation failed, could not create directory.” From your web hosting account, open the “File Manager”. Within the root folder, locate the “wp-config.php” file.
In your “wp-config.php” file, enter the following passage of code.
NOTE: Replace the information in brackets with your information.
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);
define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/pathtorootofyourblog/’);
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘ftpusername’);
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘ftppassword’);
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘yoursite.com’);
define(‘FTP_SSL’, false);
Save the “wp-config.php” file.
Return to your dashboard and try to install the plugin or upgrade once again. This time, it should be done without any problems.
Every time I'm trying to install wordpress from the address: localhost/wordpress
It's showing the "Parent Directory"
Apache/2.4.29 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2l PHP/7.1.11 Server at localhost Port 80.
Can anybody give me a solution?
From your screenshot, it looks like you have no files in your localhost/wordpress directory. You can follow the steps on this Codex page - https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress - to guide you through the install process. You first need to download and unzip the WordPress files from https://wordpress.org/download/ into your local folder. You also need to have PHP installed locally, set up a database and a user, and edit your wp-config.php file before you can access localhost/wordpress to run the install. It's all detailed in that Codex page.
I have installed wordpress in my cpanel and moved the files to public_html folder and when I did that I coudnt access to wordpress login anymore. Now I want to remove and uninstall thatfor re installing that again, What should I do?
Delete the whole wordpress folder from public_html ?
Everything was going so well: installed XAMPP on Mac (OS 10.10.2). Installed Bitnami WordPress module. Imported existing WordPress site (this site is already live). Then imported/installed the theme I want to modify. All good up to that point.
Now I want to create a child theme. Following the instructions from Themify, which are great. BUT: I can't open the htdocs directory within the wordpress dir that was installed by the Bitnami module. No permissions.
There's a help page, but it's not helping me. Reason 1: I open FileZilla, I FTP to localhost, but the wordpress dir is nowhere to be found there. Reason 2: I try to follow their sudo chown instructions but the path is not valid for me. I tried:
$ sudo chown daemon:daemon Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
... but no luck. "No such file or directory." I can find this folder in the Finder (see screencap), but I can't seem to access it from the command line. (Is that because XAMPP is in the Applications directory?)
In case it's not obvious, I am doing all this to muck around with my child theme offline. But I can't get my child theme folder into the wp-content/themes folder, because I can't FTP or access the folder directly through the Finder.
I was able to change permissions through the Mac "Get Info" panel. Doh!!
"Get Info" panel, unlocked
See screencap.
Try and put a Leading slash at the front of the directory listing so run this instead:
sudo chown daemon:daemon /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
Just go to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/mysite/wp-content/themes/your-child theme and set permission of your child theme folder to writable to everyone.
Hi all I am new to wordpress and I am following 5 min. installation method and stoped at 5th step . As I want to install it on my local machine that is localhost , where do I have to put all the files and sub directory of wordpress folder so that I can do the installation .
if any one have idea about editing wp-config.php for localhost please share with me .
You do need to firstly install WAMP or LAMP which are both used as local web servers.
During the installation of WAMP, it asks you to name a folder to place all the web services in. e.g. c:\server
Once you do that you can put the files in the WordPress zip file into a folder c:\server\www
Once you run the WAMP server you can use your browser to navigate to your WordPress site.
Here is an article about how to install WordPress
All you need to do is place all the contents of the Wordpress directory under a directory (with the name of your project, for example) on the root of your webserver. This directory will depend on your system. Eg. under Ubuntu, and using Apache the default is /var/www.
The essential fields of your wp-config.php that you have to fill in are
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD
DB_HOST (this is localhost)
That you have to configure to match your DB configuration.
you must install a program like wamp server and copy wordpress directory in wamp/www then create a database and fill wp-config.php
for fill username in wp-config use 'root' and for password use ' ' (empty).
