Hi all :wave: While we haven’t been able to duplicate this at the moment so far we feel this may be permission related, if anyone continues to see that prompt beyond the wp-config.php edit (perhaps @nametags4u ) may we please have you try running the following command? docker exec devkinsta_fpm ch…

Thanks Melissa, I’m getting ready to try your suggestions… In the meantime, it didn’t dawn on me before, but I get Security Warnings every time I launch a site from DevKinsta. I always accept the risk. That may be why I can’t run updates. This is the specific warning I get. Note that I do not get …

You’re welcome! I don’t believe that would cause it, as that should only relate to how your browser is validating the SSL with the local domain :thinking: Are you able to share what version of Firefox you’re using?

Hi @kadso . I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble! I’ve merged your topic into another thread as it’s related to the same bug/issue others are experiencing. There are a few solutions posted above. The easiest being adding the following into your wp-config.php file define(‘FS_METHOD’,‘direct’); T…

I have tried adding this but to no luck. I am having the same issue, it’s not afresh install but a pretty raw install. It’s our starter theme. Copied the site on Kinsta host, downloaded on dev kinsta. Then I got that same FTP request for credentials to do any updates at all. Then when I tried to upl…
