Package: wordpress Version: 3.0.5+dfsg-0+squeeze1 Severity: normal
Hi, The default wordpress installs that ships with Debian works fine for uploading images (after following the work arounds described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546292#29 at least) but it chokes when trying to install themes (and I guess also plugins) requiring FTP access. As per #311821, FTP access makes no sense, as the package is installed as root. However, according to this comment http://aparnam.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/wordpress-asking-for-ftp-usernamepassword-while-installing-plugin/#comment-84 all it is needed for themes and plugins to work is to add define(‘FS_METHOD’,'direct’); to the wp-config.php Please consider changing the wp-config.php shipped with Debian to include that line.
