Wordpress Cannot be updated in the admin panel

Hello.
Coinciding with the latest system updates on nethserver 7 wordpress does not update the version and asks for a localhost connection in ftp. I did some tests and it seems to be a problem of permissions on php.
Thanks to those who can tell me how to solve the problem.

Hello @france,

yes, it seems like file permissions are not ok.

  1. I assume you setup wordpress in a virtual host.
    You may check permissions/ownership with ls -l /var/lib/nethserver/vhost/YOURVHOST and set apache as owner with chown -R apache: /var/lib/nethserver/vhost/YOURVHOST

  2. You may try enable FTP and enter the credentials just for the update.

ok it is normal, the update is disabled for the core because you installed it by rpm. You must wait that epel release the new version

eventually in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php

you have this option define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true);

you can try to trick, surely you miss the good permission for apache in /usr/share/wordpress/

In fact you should wait :smiley:

Thank you for your immediate reply.
Now I understood why it was not updated. I’m not in a hurry.
