I have installed WordPress on XAMPP-VM (don't use addon). But when I add new Theme or Plugin, I need to enter FTP credentials and I don't know what username/password I should to use.
I can connect with account daemon/xampp but must change the permission of htdocs folder to 777.
What FTP account I can use that I don't need to change permission to 777?
Please see:
Alternatively, do note that you don't need to change the permissions on the htdocs folder proper, you can do it in on the plugins and themes folders in wp-content. See:
Wordpress FTP connection setting for localhost to upload and install WooCommerce
This is due to the permission issue, you can avoid it by writing the following code into your wp-config.php :
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
Hope this will help.
