WordPress credentials for update

After moving or updating WordPress, later plugin updates may start asking for FTP and/or SSH credentials. This can be easily avoided by setting the following:

  1. In wp_config.php

    define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
  2. Verify file ownership permissions, on Ubuntu, this is typically:

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data YOURFOLDER
