Hi @kadso . Iām sorry to hear youāre having trouble! Iāve merged your topic into another thread as itās 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
I have tried adding this but to no luck. I am having the same issue, itās not afresh install but a pretty raw install. Itās 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 upload an image it wouldnāt let me do that either.
Gave the following error message:

The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2021/05.
Additionally when I tried the define('FSā¦ I got a bunch of errors in my log.
2021/05/08 05:32:26 [error] 26#26: *584 FastCGI sent in stderr: āPHP message: PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant āFS_METHODā - assumed āāFS_METHODāā (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /www/kinsta/public/websiteurl/wp-config.php on line 67PHP message: PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant ādirectā - assumed āādirectāā (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /www/kinsta/public/websiteurl/wp-config.php on line 67ā while reading response header from upstream, client: 1.1.1.1, server: websiteurl.local, request: āPOST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/2.0ā, upstream: āfastcgi://1.1.0.1:9002ā, host: āwebsiteurl.localā, referrer: āhttps://websiteurl.local/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fwp-admin%2Fupdate-core.phpā
EDIT: All of my websites are doing this. Nothing will let me upload or update plugins. Itās like my whole wp-content folder is just editable.
This fixed it. I ran this, it took a bit to execute. Though when it did I was able to update, upload, and good to go. Opened up command console, copy, paste, good to go
As a follow up to this I have had to do this multiple times now. A new website installed didnāt want to work either and ran this and I was fine again.
I just tested this and yes, looks like every time I have downloaded a new website from Kinsta it doesnāt give me permission to do so. Funny enough, Iām back on this post today because I needed that again to run so I could make updates to an existing client.
This does appear to be an ongoing issue. I have to run this everytime I pull a site from Kinsta and my employees are having to do it too. Is there a better resolution in sight?
We simply run
each time but I feel itās an unneeded step.
Looking forward to continued improvements of DevKinsta!
With the release of DevKinsta 2.0, this issue should now be solved. You can download DevKinsta 2.0+ here. Let us know if you continue to see this issue!
