How To Get WordPress to Save your FTP Details

Some hosts for whatever reason mess with the auto update feature of WordPress. If you are one of those unlucky people. There is a fix, and it's very easy to implement.

How To Get WordPress to Save your FTP Details

1. FTP into your WordPress install
2. Open: wp-config.php
3. Add the following:

// ** FTP SETTINGS FOR AUTO-UPDATE ** //
define('FTP_HOST', 'YOUR-HOSTNAME-HERE');
define('FTP_USER', 'YOUR-FTP-USERNAME');
define('FTP_PASS', 'YOUR-FTP-PASSWORD');

I put mine directly below:
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

4. Save the file
5. Upload (if needed)
