Hi all,

Im sorry im just using Devkinsta(local) and i run into some trouble. When i want to add or remove a theme. I need to fill in some connect information.

Hostname  
FTP username  
FTP password

What do i need to fill in here? I put in my host name that i can see at the site info and my username and password i see at the database. i also tried to put in my site name as a username and my wp credentials. But none seem to work. Could someone please help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Faissal 👋 welcome to Kinsta Community!

Can you please try to add the following line into your local site’s `wp-config.php` file:

`define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );`

that’s just before the line which says:

`/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */`

then save it, and please try if you’re able to add or remove a theme - and see if it’s no longer asking those information?

Regards,  
Agus
