  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

WordPress 3.8 application and fastcgi not working

SherlockH

Basic Pleskian
When installing WordPress 3.8 via application tab with php running in fastcgi mode, plugin / theme installing features do not work. WordPress asks for FTP credentials. The installer adds the following lines to wp-config.php:

if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "ftpext";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0755 );
}

If the lines are removed, everything words fine. Is this a bug in the APS package?
 
Hello,

Try to add following code in your wp-config.php file to install plugin/theme without FTP

Code:
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
 
Thanks for your reply. The package was updated by now and the line that you suggested was added. Problem solved ...
