I am running WordPress 4.1 Multisite on CentOS with NGINX. I have set define('FS_METHOD','direct'); in wp-config.php but am still getting prompted for FTP credentials when trying to install a plugin.
I have tried chmod’ing the wp-content directories recursively with both nginx and www-data users and neither works
Because I had cut and pasted define(’FS_METHOD’,’direct’); from the web, the incorrect quote characters were pasted into the file.
should be define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
The incorrect quote character also changed the encoding of the file somehow. If anyone has deeper knowledge of this issue please let me know in the comments.
