FTPing to install a new theme?

  • My host company is in Korea and perhaps the reason why I’m having this problem – besides the fact that I’m very computer un-savvy.

    I tried installing a new theme and WP asks for a connection information. Why this happens I don’t know except perhaps to do with Korean hosting status. So, I type in for hostname

    mediatomedia.co.kr does not work. then,
    ftp://mediatomedia.co.kr still does not work.

    plus my user and password for hosting access.

    Help would be appreciated.

  • You may need to talk to your hosting company to ask for your ftp server/login/password.

    If you use FileZilla it should be the same server/login/password.

    Once you know that info you can put that in wp-config.php so you won’t be asked that in the future:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
define('FTP_HOST', 'fpt_host_here');
define('FTP_USER', 'your_ftp_user');
define('FTP_PASS', 'ftp_password_here');
define('FS_TIMEOUT', 900);
